Self explanatory ! I hope you enjoy.

Seen Better Days !
This entrance way has seen better days but typical of older buildings the slate roof and copper overhang will last forever. I hope you enjoy.

Distorted !
I love shooting with wide angle lenses but sometimes you have to be careful of exaggerated distortion. In this case I was shooting with an 18-55mm lens at 18mm which really is not that wide but when combined with the angle you shoot at (in this case up) straight lines can look fairly skewed. I hope you enjoy.

Brick And Mortar !
This is a great old door with vines as a bonus detail. I hope you enjoy.

Broken Spirits !
I love finding old abandoned buildings to photograph. I think about all the history and the people that went through their doors and in this case the dark spirits that were left behind in this Mental Institution. I chose black and white to highlight the “vibes” this building gives off. I hope you enjoy.

Over Run !
I believe this is one of the abandoned buildings from the Central Islip Mental Institution. They are in very close proximity to the New York Institute of Technology in Central Islip which is on the old mental institution grounds.
The vines seem to be in charge these days. I hope you enjoy.

I Wonder What They Sell In Here ?
It’s just a women’s clothing store but I thought the sign was cool along with the architecture of this old building and the shadows being cast. I hope you enjoy.

“My Fellow Americans”
Here I go again getting up on a soap box and preaching, but when it comes to homeless people I just can’t help myself. In a country as wealthy as ours there is no excuse to even have one homeless person. We have wars on terrorism, wars on drugs, wars on super sized soft drinks, wars on everything except for those who are vulnerable and living on the street. On this particular day in Manhattan I was bundled up and freezing, it was about 15 degrees Fahrenheit and windy so I could imagine how cold he was. The first words out of any politician when running for office and making a speech is “My Fellow Americans”. Why are we getting immune to helping “Our Fellow Americans” ?
