Going through some image archives I found a batch of photos I took in the elevator alley area of Buffalo NY. Still standing strong, these monolithic grain silos are what remains of a once glorious and active industrial landscape on the WNY waterfront. I have a lot more but for now here is a set, the image gallery can be seen by clicking here.
I’ve been absent from my site here for a while. I’ve been absent from a lot of things. Those who know me know that I’ve suffered a severe tragedy in my life a few months ago, and I’ve been focusing most of my waking moments on that and will continue to do so for quite some time. Life since October 2011 changed drastically as I knew it, therefore my photography and any other “fun” things are on the back burner for a while until my situation gets under control.
I’ve had a lot of support from a lot of people, and for that I will be forever thankful. True...
The doors are closed for good. Seen in an old textile mill, somewhere buried in the foggy rural hills of Maryland… I’m trying to catch up on posting here but life gets in the way of time on the interweb. Funny, it should really be the interweb getting in the way of life – which is why you won’t find all those funny little social media icons all over the site here. No need for all that. I’m fine and happy with my own little space here, thankyouverymuch.
Uh oh, I’ll end this post here.
Life is good. Go live it :)
People often ask my why I like to see old, abandoned places and buildings. This photo is one answer to that question. This is a dual coal transport system on an upper floor of an old decommissioned coal-fired electric power plant. This location has since been demolished and this scene is now gone forever. This is not something often seen by the average person. Seeing places like this and capturing them in their silence is a feeling that can’t be described easily. These places may stand still but time moves on, eventually leading to their demise before these hidden gems can be seen, if at
On a recent photographic excursion with some of my peers, we stumbled across a huge old factory in a desolate area of the town we were in. Everything was pretty wide open, so we decided to take a look. All of the machinery and anything else of value had been cleaned out or scrapped, except for thousands of old wooden pallettes – and, this single red child’s school chair. Which was very strange to see sitting in a big old industrial site like this – but it made some good subject matter.
I took this photo in what I personally think is probably the most “post-apocolyptic” location I’ve visited to date. I heard about this place some years ago, knew of it form the film “12 Monkeys”, and when the first (recent) photos of the interior started popping up I knew someday I had to go there and see it for myself. It was a place and a day I’d never forget…
Inside the Col. Ward Pumping Station in Buffalo, NY, lies some of the most magnificent pieces of machinery I have ever seen. The 60-foot high Holly Steam Pumps which used to pump the water for the city of Buffalo now lay dormant. See this link for more info. For a full set of recent photos, see my post here.

A conveyor that goes on forever. Massive lines and an almost infinite vanishing point were the motivation in taking this shot. As seen in an old factory, now vacant.
One lonely fire extinguisher sits quietly in an empty factory. The industrial space around it – quiet and still.
Reclamation. The growth outside penetrates the empty and abandoned interior of an old silk mill. The light coming through the window was fabulous. I took this shot at an extreme angle because I liked the contrasting lines on the ceiling.
