Until moronic kids think it's cool to go into them in the middle of the day and scream at people from the roof and have pizzas delivered to the location. Then location is then, of course, sealed up better and newer explorers have a harder time getting in. I fucking hate people like that. Especially when it's not a location I'm local to and it takes an 8 hour flight to get there just to find out that security has been increased. BAH.

LAX  Location: Cincinnati  |  Re: Do you share all of your explorations with this forum? <Reply # 62 on 7/7/2010 5:34 AM >   Short answers: Have I so far? Yes. Will I in the future? I highly highly doubt it. Long(er) answers: So far I've only explored a few locations, and none of them were special enough to keep secret. One was an old hotel that was about to be gutted and made into office space. Another is in the middle of a national park, with signs pointing out the way to it. Nothing to really keep secret about. In the future, when I have explored locations that are more pristine (less vandalized since being abandoned) that I wouldn't want idiots inside of, I doubt I'll let go of the details publicly. lanceeman  Location: richland(aka noob land) washington Gender: Male sleep?....nah.  |  Re: Do you share all of your explorations with this forum? <Reply # 63 on 7/7/2010 8:46 AM >   I don't post any at all, I never bring a camera and rarely feel the need to tell about most of the stuff i do...just a bit more of a personal experience to me, and most of the time i don't have the words to bring anyone else's mind along with me and my eyes. lol your the one who choose to jack off to this old house with your tears as lube - Savannah jukebox fuckup  Location: killadelphia Gender: Female  |  Re: Do you share all of your explorations with this forum? <Reply # 64 on 7/9/2010 5:59 PM >   I have came to realize recently that the type of person that 'used to tag' but claims that they do not anymore are the kinds that I do not play well with. I suppose there is a personality trait that draws people to tagging, hence why all people that tag or used to tag are tools. My bet is that they are narcissistic with a sense of entitlement and inflated sense of self-worth to think that they should scribble their chicken scratch slogan all over buildings. They tag when it is 'cool' for their reputation, and desist as soon as it no longer makes them 'hip'. It is not a matter of "growing up" in most of the people I have seen do this, as many of them were tagging well into adulthood.

Might buy one sometime in the future, but I explore for the experience, not photography. So posting "Hey guise, I went to/climbed ______ last night alone, and don't have anything cool to show you." wont make a very exciting post.

I was researching heritage listed buildings in my area recently when I read about a steam-driven licorice factory within walking distance of my house. It'd been built in 1922 by a conglomerate of licorice companies (former market competitors, actually) and at one point the factory was producing 85% of all licorice in Australia. It sounded fairly promising. I went on over to check it out and from a distance I could see a pretty cool old factory chimney looming above the site, but when I tracked down the remains of the actual factory this was all that was left: Yeah, that sucks. I will say that a shit-hot photographer should be able to produce some awesome photos from even a cruddy disappointing site like that, but my limited skills weren't up to the challenge.

I look at it from another angle - some locations are too good to put on a public forum. I post some threads that were attempts to find something that I ended up not finding (or that wasn't as good as I would have hoped). You may call it a 'fail' but I think it's a good contrast to seeing that side of exploring rather than just the "perfect photos" that are just bi-product of the actual exploring (recon, searching, exploring). Sheeze... I hope people don't think all I do is fail and find duds... I have found some really cool stuff over the years Cheers FacialBook is killing online forums. badgerbadger  Location: Rhode Island Gender: Male Hey look, a ______!

I hope people don't think all I do is fail and find duds... I have found some really cool stuff over the years Cheers In my opinion, there are no duds or fails (unless you get busted, arrested, charged, and put in jail... or you die) in exploring. I explore for the experience, so even a "crappy" place or a "dud" can be plenty of fun and a good experience. You just might have to try a little harder to have fun with it. As Dougo said, to me quite often the recon, searching, exploring and research are the more fun aspects of our 'craft'. And if you find a place that is a 'dud' try to do something fun with it. Came upon an old barn out in the Kingston area. It wasn't much to look at, or very cool, but the rafters were stable, so I just swung around monkey-bar style for a while. It was probably more fun than I've had at some cooler places. [23:30:28] <Trap> Protip: Soylent Green is people [23:30:39] <badgerbadger> Best. Protip.

Even if it's a well-known spot, if I have pictures of it that I haven't seen before, I'll probably post them. yaz36  Location: United Kingdom Gender: Male farkin slippy shit!  |  |  Re: Do you share all of your explorations with this forum? <Reply # 78 on 9/3/2010 4:49 PM >   Posted by uLiveAndYouBurn Not the ones I take a bunch of stuff from and then sell it.
