Wow, you said a mouthful. Seeing that the USA and Canada for that matter are based on the right to own private property and that many here do, it's fair to say many on UER aren't opposed to it. Moreover some of us have shot extensively by permission from the owners and even the local police as well as by other means. Many of us don't B&E to explore. One thing many of us tend to be is anti-documentary as you may have noticed. If your documentary is nonprofit you need no consent forms for anything including images. Do you remember W.W. Beauchamp in Unforgiven? Do you recall Will Munny advice to him at the end of the movie?
| Hey sorry for the late Re: Blackhawk. haha, yeah, I guess I did spew off quite a bit. I See now. like you said before: documentaries seem to be a very disliked form of research here. I've actually decided that it would be really disrespectful, to both you and this community, if we continued to ask for this communities participation in our school research. I'm taking your advice, I'm going to become more of an active person: exploring locations, taking photos, and writing descriptions. Those who know best do, right? Oh yes, as for the consent, we are still bound by our Universities ethics boards. Even though we are non-profit, we still need to assure that our participants are aware of their involvement, and the ability to see the final project so they can see if they want to be involved in the final project or not.

| What can I tell you, it's a rough crowd. A documentary makes it too easy and would attract the some of the wrong types of people. Make them do their homework themselves. In short a documentary of UE offers no benefits for me and is nothing but a potential liability in a number of ways. Releases mean you could use the material for profit or as you see fit, legally. I tried to find you and your group doing a search, but could not. That reduces your credibility. You could be -anyone- A sincere interest in urban exploring means you do it by nature. That's why we are here.

| | | Hey everybody, glad to be here. Allow me to share some basic info. First (hold the flaming please), graffiti led me here. I don't write, it's just a separate interest of mine. Leave nothing but footprints and take nothing but pictures is the motto and I follow it. The few places that I've "explored" are not secrets and have been covered in graffiti for years. My son also rekindled my interest in this urbex thing. He shared a couple local tunnels that him and his friends stumbled across. For now he is my exploring partner. Sometimes we go in together, sometimes I'll scope out a location first and take him later if I feel it's safe enough. I am in the 951 area of SoCal, some light exploring can be found but nothing like the odd buildings deep in the forests elsewhere that I see. As far as pics go, my good camera is my cell phone. I've managed to take a couple decent shots but never saved them to PB, just post them on IG and erase from my phone. If anyone cares to see a couple urbex shots (and a lot of graffiti) I'd be happy to share my IG user name. I'd like to explore a lot more spots, I even know of a few that are local, but those can wait till I meet up with a group that lets me tag along. Not trying to stumble onto a meth lab solo! Anyway, I'm not trying to write a book so I'll just get back to browsing through this website. Hopefully I'll have something with some content that I can share soon enough.

| | | Hey everyone. this is Metalmenshevik, just got off my 3 day posting ban period. So a little about me, I am 22, male, not very tall, powerful build, mixed Levantine and Eastern European heritage, and grew up in the Chicago-area, where there are as you all know tons of spooky abandoned places, which piqued my curiosity since childhood. I now reside in sunny Austin, TX and am looking to firmly plant myself in the local urbex community and get more involved. I am currently in school part time and my interests include all outdoor activities besides hunting and fishing, architecture, antiques, cooking, history, traveling, Leftist philosophies, anthropology, linguistics, permaculture and ethnobotany, foraging, mixed media art,music you can thrash to, and run-on sentences ;) ...I am also self-employed designing and building xeriscapes (desert gardens). I have been a lurker on this site since I was about 11 or 12 years old and saw it posted on iambored .com and have just now decided to join for some reason a freaking decade later [smacks forehead]. Anyways, I hope to make some good friends here with common interests in the dark and unknown/forgotten.
