I visited 21 #abandoned locations in Pennsylvania, documenting them with 135 fascinating photographs. These photos were published in my book "Abandoned Pennsylvania".

Available on Amazon, online book sellers, and all major brick and mortar bookshops. Autographed copies are available on my website 
@ObsidianUrbex The boxing ring is ripe to become a co-working space for a tech startup
@unixben sadly I think it's destined to be demolished 
@ObsidianUrbex
Fascinating locations. Thanks for showing us these beautiful places.
@lefteye it is my absolute pleasure 
@ObsidianUrbex the trolley cars bring back visions of Twin Peaks.
Wonderful photos. I look forward to more of your work.
@gg you know...I still haven't seen Twin Peaks!
Happy to hear you enjoyed the photos, lots more to come
@ObsidianUrbex So glad you've got more coming. The photos I've seen so far on your site (I've only examined "My Favorites" so far; after all, I am supposed to be writing today) are truly arresting. Lucious colors, incredible composition. I presume you use a medium or large format camera? Because the detail is amazing. Even on the InterWeb.
I wonder if you are familiar with the work of Rone? https://rone.art/ ... He paints gi-normous facial portraits in abandoned buildings. Best to you.
@gg thanks so so much . I my website photos are a mix of various Sony DSLR and mirrorless camera shots, usually bracketed and often stitched panoramas. Definitely a lot of detail in these places, and wonderful texture 
Oh that artists work seems familiar, I maybe have seen his work somewhere before. Very beautiful 
@ObsidianUrbex my nephew works at the Eastern State Penitentiary museum.
@GESampson niiice! I very much enjoyed that place
@ObsidianUrbex @sanjuanswan Thanks for sharing! Just bought for a friend who’s a native Pennsylvanian and who has a birthday coming up.
@dox @sanjuanswan yay thanks so much David! I hope they love it. If you bought from my website just to let you know the postal service here is pausing international shipping, so it will be a day or two before I can dispatch
@ObsidianUrbex where’s that first photo?
@TransitBiker I am afraid I do not share specific location details. I believe (and have seen the effects of) damage and thefts to beautiful places. I hope you can understand and respect my feelings on this
@ObsidianUrbex sure. I’m a history nerd & always wanting to learn more about new finds like that. Helps with advocacy, education, and preservation.
@TransitBiker I do have some historic context in each accompanying article, so you can nerd out a bit with that
@ObsidianUrbex This is amazing!
