These photos were all taken with my trusty old Powershot G2. Old as in it’s from 2001. When we first set foot inside the Dussault Foundry in Lockport we had…
Grain elevators have become popular in Buffalo in the past few years. Most of us around here have probably heard of art shows and history tours that run through Silo…
No text this time, instead a video with narration. I know there’s like two minutes of nothing after the video ends, it’s not in the original video, so I guess…
Nature can retake man made structures and spaces very quickly. In the span a few short years sites can be buried and overgrown enough that no one remembers it was…

What seems like a very long time ago, an era in which Arrested Development had only been cancelled for a year, I took my first foray into urban exploration. My…
Sometimes the best sites come to us by accident. One cold, dead, winter day my friend asked me to go with him on a trip down Route 5 to take…
If you find yourself driving out towards the 400, or on a sight seeing trip through scenic South Buffalo, you might notice off to the side of the highway a…
Sometimes opportunity knocks, other times it billows hundreds of feet into the air. A few years ago a largely abandoned machine-shop-turned-warehouse caught fire and chased out what little activity the…
