Four of my favorite spots n' shots out on the road exploring over the last year, taken on my Nikon D750.

Inside a massive and relatively clean abandoned storage warehouse in the middle of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. So many interesting lines, rusting machinery and peeling lead paint in this beautiful old structure.

"There was a light, blue as a welder's torch; it used to shine over the fields, and all the wise men, strong men were drawn for miles; followed a star to Bethlehem Steel..."
- Grant Lee Buffalo - Bethlehem Steel (1997).

Bethlehem Steel HQ; Bethlehem, PA.

A rusting Titan of industry; the massive, tangled and rust-red complex of the long silent and defunct Bethlehem Steel on the Lehigh River in Pennsylvania. This complex helped us win a world war; now it lies silent.

The shattered, scrapped and torched auditorium of an abandoned Detroit, Michigan high school. Once grand and ornate, this massive shell was once adorned with red velvet seats and intricate stone decor. Now, as of 2017, it is as you see it...

Bizarre tableaus found within the House of Dots near Slab City, California; an outsider art installation deep in the desert outside of Niland, California. I can't think of anywhere more quirky than this place, tucked away in one of the hottest places in the country.

The glorious Art Deco masterpiece that is Detroit, Michigan's Fisher Building. The Fisher Body Company built this gem in 1928, designed by Albert Kahn. It stands today as a reminder of when the automobile was king in the Motor City.

Scenes from "The Beach," once a thriving resort area on Salton Sea, now an outsider art installation in Bombay Beach, California. This art now stands where once the Sea inundated; such has been the evaporation over the years...

The collapsed shell of the Church of the Transfiguration in Buffalo, New York. This beautiful old church is on its last legs after its roof collapsed several winters ago; though stabilization is being attempted, there is no guarantee that it will survive...

A playlist of 22 songs that invoke the vibes of Autumn in the Rust Belt. Mellow, smoky, gloomy grey clouds over a restless Lake Erie, the wind blowing crackling leaves around, vines on the abandoned buildings turning fiery colors. Enjoy! -Mr. P.

Scenes from within a decades-defunct Kirkbride mental institution in Buffalo, New York. While this section of the hospital is semi-abandoned and mostly in its original state, the central part of it has been renovated as a beautiful hotel.

Inside the magnificent infrastructure of the Colonel Ward Pumping Station in Buffalo, New York. One of the main pumping stations that brings water to the municipal grid, this Beaux-Arts masterpiece was opened in 1915 and is still in partial operation today.

I haven't been posting much as of late. Things have seemed very...lackluster and ominous. With all that is going on in the world and especially here in the US, the anxiety and depression levels are at an all time high. Hard to create art and be as social as one would like with that hanging above...

The vast and cavernous spaces of the defunct (but now repurposed) and geometrically glorious Brooklyn Army Terminal (Building B) in Brooklyn, New York City. The light, the shadow and the lines of this place always make this a special place to document.

A re-up. Please consider giving a little in aid to the artists who lost much of their livelihoods in the massive fire in Red Hook, Brooklyn, NYC last week. Fire gutted the 1870's-era renovated old warehouse; also water damage. Thanks much.
