| | | Posted by SiteUnseen Ken, what was your experience with this article? Did it turn out the way you wanted it?
| What you read in the article is almost verbatim what I wrote in the email correspondence over the weeklong period that Jareem Imam and Daphne Sashin from CNN interviewed me. Non-direct quotes have been truncated for conciseness and clarity, but closely mirrors my actual written words. Understandably some things they asked about did not make the final cut; my gear, run-ins with drug addicts, how to explore with others, and Doors Open Milwaukee. I am aware that some involved with UE view any media coverage to be an outright negative. When answering the questions I was very careful about typing my responses. Daphne wanted me to reveal the exact locations for all the photos. Schlitz and the Green Bay hospital were already demolished by that point. She pushed repeatedly for me to reveal the remaining location specifics, but I declined. All of those photos have been posted at some point on the UER website. In the interest of bringing balance the authors interviewed Professor James Scarlett, who broadly categorized urbexers as people who "break" into locations. This view is consistent with what the general public already thinks of urban explorers. In the context of the article it is a stereotype that I feel gets overshadowed by the quality of the end products the other two urbexers presented. (Seriously, I'm impressed by THEIR work.) It was a risk to talk to the media, but I feel fairly good about how it turned out. I just want to be clear that I speak only for myself in this matter. I recognize that others may feel different about this.
