# About me

I've always had an interest in photography, but only started taking it "serious" when I bought my first DSLR in the start of 2011. I found a natural connection with photography and exploring various abandoned locations, which I've always enjoyed doing, and it drove me to buy a decent camera in hopes of documenting these kind of places. How come I didn't make that connection sooner is beyond me now...

Derelict buildings has always struck a chord in me. Curiosity and an explorers mindset is what drives me to seek out locations that most people just shrug of as eyesores in the scenery. The dense, sometimes overwhelming, sense of isolation and the crack in time some buildings possess is what I find engrossing. Also the sense of being in a place you're not supposed to be appeals to my inner thirteen year old self. :)

Current Residence: H-Town, DK
Favourite genre of music: n/a

Hejsa Mike!
Må jeg spørge, hvor mange af dine billeder er fra Danmark...? Jeg er også lige faldet for den genre og vil gerne høre, om der stadig findes forladte bygnigner af den kaliber i Danmark
Hav en dejlig dag!

Hej

De fleste er fra Danmark, så de findes skam også her. Der er bare lidt længere imellem de virkelige spændende steder, men der dukker nogle perler op en gang imellem.

Hvor i landet befinder du dig? Så kan jeg måske hjælpe dig igang.

Gud, er de virkeligt! Det havde jeg ikke forestillet mig!

Jeg bor i Dyssegård (Kbh), men har bil - og så har jeg familie i Nordjylland, så der er lidt at vælge imellem

Så må jeg lige tjekke dit profil nærmere igennem! Spændende

Så skal du holde øje med DR2 på tirsdag omkring klokken 22.

Bil er en ret god ting at ha' med den her hobby. Slå GPS'en fra og kør ud i ingenmandsland, så skal der nok dukke noget op.

Og lige en ting til. Hvis du ligger billeder ud på nettet, må jeg opfordre dig til at være diskret med info omkring hvor de er taget. Der er desværre mange eksempler på fantastiske forladte steder, som er blevet fuldstændig ødelagt (sågar brændt ned) af sørgelige personer, der har haft for nemt ved at finde dem.

Uha uha, det er hermed sat til at optage, tusinde tak Ser ikke så meget DR2, så det havde jeg ikke opdaget på egen hånd!
Det vil jeg glæde mig til!
Men har godt læst flere artikler omkring de to!
Det skal jeg nok passe på med - det er da også irriterende, at der er folk, der er sådan!
Men hvis du har lyst til at dele dine steder (lover ikke at ødelægge eller brænde dem ned, hehe), så er du meget velkommen til at hjælpe mig Kan man sende private beskeder herinde? Ellers er min mail: Mette456@yahoo.dk

Hav en dejlig søndag!

Just been browsing your gallery, you've got some brilliant stuff, love the hospital and the prison. I, like you, developed an interest in photography this year, for me it was when playing with my girlfriends DSLR on holiday and we've got a couple of little places we're hoping to explore in the next month so watch this space lol I've got half a housing estate next me where I live that's soon to be demolished, but I want to get in there and capture it before they take it down

Thanks for looking.

Be careful - it's highly addictive.
I'm looking forward seeing your pics.

Yeah, thing is, it's something I've always been into, I've just never documented it, so it makes sense to incorporate my new found love for photography

If you haven't already, I suggest reading a book called Beauty in Decay, it's by an Urbexer who goes by the name of RomanyWG and it's absolutely fantastic

B5160-R In reply to KingJ-Me [2011-04-10 11:26:30 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I've got that book - brilliant book!
I highly recommend this one as well: [link]

KingJ-Me In reply to B5160-R [2011-04-10 11:31:03 +0000 UTC]

That's already on my list of books I need to get, as well as Chris Payne's Asylum. I actually bought Beauty in Decay for my girlfriend, as I say, it's her who owns the camera, but I fell in love with it myself.

There is an old hospital near me that I really want to get in to, but it's guarded by the Army, so it's a bit more challenging than the average building lol
