OMG, that brings back memories. I spent the summer delivering pizzas in Bossier City (in the '80s, before the casinos), and I've never seen the like of mosquitoes. They were so fast that they'd painted themselves with black-and-white racing stripes, I kid you not. One day I decided to take the dashboard off my car (for no particular reason), and by the time I was done, the mosquito bites on my mosquito bites had mosquito bites on them.


My mom jokes with the Florida tower crews to watch out for those tiger mosquitoes (stripey ones). They'll carry you right off the ladder...

Everyone has given good advice. The only thing I can add is this:

The more suspicious you look and act, the more suspiciously the authorities will treat you should it come to that. NVGs are high on any policeman's suspicious-ometer.

If you waltz in during the day with a tripod and decent camera like you're going to Sunday services, the police may stop by, but all they'll do is run you off, not run you in.

If it gets that far, be matter-of-fact in your dealings with them. Tell them abandonment photography is a hobby (maybe have a few pictures already on the camera's card, if you shoot digitally). Tell them you're working on a project.

But regardless of how logical it is, never point out how unsecured the building is, or that anyone concerned with keeping people out hasn't done much towards that end, etc. Police don't like being out-reasoned.

Good luck!

Put on a grey jumpsuit and grab a tool belt or a bucket of paint and just act like you're supposed to be there.

And at last I resolved to scale that tower, fall though I might;
Since it was better to glimpse the sky and perish,
Than to live without ever beholding the day.

You must have watched the same Tom & Jerry cartoon I did... with the little duck and the vanishing cream. Classic TV.
