The fanciest washroom I have ever witnessed in my exploratory travels; inside an abandoned mansion in rural Ohio, the greens and blues and gilded beauty of a long gone age were on display.

Shadow and light on a wintery day; the abandoned and long since demolished Hess and Clark Factory in Ashland, Ohio. Truly a unique factory in its day.

It very much is.

Truly.

Oh, it went on and on. The library itself was heartbreaking.

Absolutely. And schools lose more money every year.

That was my response as well.

Entropy. Vandals. Edgy kids. The slow decay of America. All of that and more.

The ravaged recesses of a library book storage room inside an abandoned high school in Flint, Michigan. The depth of the waste here is a true travesty. Also, sadly, a statement on how our country thinks of public education as a whole...

Thanks! The spot had some seriously interesting vibes!

Snaps in time of Westchester Avenue near where it crosses the Bronx River in the Bronx, New York City. Just a slice of life deep in one of the world's most diverse, gritty and alive cities on an August afternoon in 2023.

I mean, sure, but this really doesn't connect to that. While many things are the fault of those two ass-clowns, not EVERYthing is. This was just Ashland's mayor being an ass and killing a historical building for no good reason other than to just do it.

I could get lost there. And in a good way. The Rust Belt is home, and there's so much here to photograph, but NYC is a whole bigger beast altogether. A lifetime and you'd never see it all.

I'm dipping back into a few of the albums I haven't heard. I have a drive to Myrtle Beach this week, so I have plenty of time to soak a few up!

Thank you! I could have looked at the skyline from that pier all night.

Inside the remains of Ashland, Ohio's Hess and Clark factory, once famous and renowned for producing a wide range of animal health and human skincare products. It was demolished in 2021, and the land there still remains vacant, despite city promises.

Manhattan, like a mirage rising across the Hudson River, across from the remnants of the Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal in Jersey City, New Jersey.

This was my first real connection with Coney Island. This was the impetus for me to travel and go see it for myself. So surreal that a video shot in the year I graduated, 1994, would lead me, almost 30 years later, to photograph the place in all its glory. An amazing song that captures the vibe...

That was the best part about this place! The light and shadow!
