Ruin photography has always fascinated me. These places are falling apart; walls cracked, ceilings caved in, nature pushing through wherever it can. The buildings are crumbling, but you can still feel what they were built for, even if that purpose ended years ago.

I wish there’d been a guide like this when I started. Back then, I followed my instincts and hunches, often with no clue what I was doing or where I was headed.

Urban exploration photography has changed the way I see the world. There’s something captivating about stepping into a crumbling building that once buzzed with life and now sits in quiet decay.

Abandoned But Not Forgotten is a photographic exploration of the places that have been left behind. Abandoned theatres, overgrown churches, and crumbling houses may no longer serve their original purpose, but they still hold meaning. 

For photographers and urban explorers, the old Michigan Theater in Detroit is a space that invites reflection. Not just on what it was, but on what it represents about the city and its ability to adapt.

There’s something about fall foliage in Vermont that just makes me want to grab my camera and head out the door. Maybe it’s the crisp air or the way the world seems to slow down.

There’s something truly magical about fall in New England. Every year, as the temperature drops and the leaves start to turn, the region transforms into a photographer’s dream.

Insights into my journey as an urbex photographer, the allure of these forgotten spaces, and how nature plays a central role in transforming them.
