| | | Posted by littleoldlady Hello, all! I have been visiting this website for years, but I am a rookie. I am a 61-year grandmother of 4 who adores heavy metal and urban exploring. I always thought I was weird because I would hyperventilate whenever I saw abandoned railroad tracks, buildings, drains, homes, etc., and couldn't rest until I started poking around. I am still proud of the fact that I was able to get into our local amphitheater a week after it closed - that was fantastic and I spent the WHOLE DAY there. I am hoping my grandchildren have inherited my love of trespassing - I take them on some of the milder sites (abandoned roads in a state park, for instance). Anyway, if I seem computer stupid it's because I am, but Blackhawk was kind enough to give me a gentle push in the right direction. My urban exploration is somewhat limited now since I have been diagnosed with cancer, so I am really having a GREAT time looking at all the photos on this site. I am not a lurker - just someone who loves urban exploration (thanks to Ninjalicious I discovered UE websites existed) so if I am irritating anyone please, please let me know - thanks all, and keep up the great photography! I believe nel58 might be close to my age, so here's a shout out to her.

| | | Hello! I'm new to the site and new to exploring! As a teenager, I liked wandering about abandoned buildings at night for a scare with my friends (caught once, let go with a warning). During a rare daytime visit (with my MOM!) to one of the best sites, we happened to run into someone armed with a camera who introduced us to urban exploring. With going off to college, then trying to balance two jobs with a long commute, and you, know, life, I didn't do any of that for a long time, although it was in the back of my mind. Fast forward to now, and I'm really interested in exploring again (but not at night for a scare). I haven't done much yet, and I just moved to a new area where I don't know anyone who wants to tag along (and I'm too chicken-livered to go alone...hence the name "Long Tailed Cat"), but fortunately on my trips home I have tolerant friends/family to drag along. I am joining the forums to get some good tips (already have over my last three days of lurking!), enjoy others' photos of their excursions, and hopefully, eventually, find a partner in my area (central KY).

| | | Hey guys, new to this forum but not new to exploring. Honestly joined because I need more locations than the few I frequent. My brother is a full member here someplace, so I'll get him to vouch for me when he gets back from vaca. but about me. I'm a photographer in Olathe KS and like to photograph abandoned places, landscapes, portrates, events, macro, light painting, cars, just about everything. I started doing photography because of my passion in/for cars, but as my skills have increased, I've found to use my photography skills for a wide variety of things. If you'd like to check out some photos I've taken, check out my facebook page photos and give it a like: search "Flawless Photography" or try the link here: https://www.facebo...819/?ref=bookmarks Anyhow, I really love checking out abandoned places for photographic uses and possibly for future projects (for example, I took my sister-in-law to a moderately safe warehouse for senior photos). But you'll see me plunking around. I'll post up a few photos and such here and there too. Might be a bit since it's limited to 100k uploads. my photos tend to be in the 20,000k -__- See you guys around. (ps, this forum is a tad wack. so might take me some time to figure out how everything works. feel free to correct me should I post in the wrong places)

| | | I've come to realize that I have never introduced myself on here! I have been exploring sense the age of 15 mostly in the Wisconsin area. I spent a year down in Florida because warmth is NICE. I just got done attending my first event and first Mouser week. It was a really great time, and I was able to meet quite a few great people. Mad respect to those who housed me the two weekends I was around. 1. 2. 3.
