Although I haven’t done any of it in a long time, Urban Exploration (google it, it’s pretty much what it sounds like) has led to some of my favorite images.
It’s gone now, but on the north end of town there used to be an abandoned oil refinery. A couple friends and I explored it one [...]
This one has gotten a lot of love over on Flickr. This is Teter rock, which lives in the middle of nowhere in the Flint Hills of Kansas. It’s basically a big chunk of limestone which, in Pioneer days, someone turned on its end and chucked into the ground. It sits on a relatively high [...]
