Seth Thomas Memorial
Feel free to repost this.


Seth Thomas Memorial Site


Seth introduced me to the industrial and (mostly abandoned) city of Gary, Indiana. When I came down to Gary to check it out, Seth showed me around the city and welcomed me to come back whenever I was heading to Chicago. Aside from being a dedicated urban explorer, he was an amazing photographer. His pictures speak for themselves.

Over time, Seth became one of my close friends. We spoke on a daily basis even though we should have been working. He just got a new job in Chicago, was looking to buy a new car and finish up his degree in Mechanical Engineering.

This past weekend, Saturday, September 23rd, and one day shy of his 24th birthday, Seth passed away in a tragic accident doing what he loved to do - taking photos. Seth was an extraordinary and brilliant young man whose life was taken too soon.

In honor of his life and legacy he left behind, I am sending out a limited photo of the City Methodist Church in Gary, Indiana where Seth and I first met almost a year ago. After I heard about his passing I figured the least I could do for him was honor him in one of his favorite places of all time. All donations will go to his family to help cover the funds. All of the printing, shipping and PayPal fees will be covered by me.



If you are interested in purchasing a copy of the picture above, please use the donation link below. Photo sizes will be a 5x7.5" full frame to fit an 8x10 frame. There is no set price for this photo, donate however much your heart desires. I will be placing orders every Friday until October 27th that way I can mail out a check to Seth's family by Monday, October 30th. You will receive your photo within 1-2 weeks depending on when you placed your order. All photos will be shipped flat.

you should always use flash when taking photos, it adds "artistic" value to it. DO IT.
