Geabler

2009-02-14T16:38:00.000-08:00

A lot of people hate this location. It's trashed, it's ugly, and it's in Waltham. I am a Waltham boy, while I am not proud of that, I am proud of the Geabler. it's a cheap rip off of Metro, but it's still cool.

This day I went up here to take some exteriors and see what entrances are here, because my buddy is coming home from Iraq and he is the first one who I went here with. This place, along with many other places around the state are on our list for exploring. Anyway like the Metro post I have one artfagish picture, here it is:

Here are some others that aren't so fancy:

Now I know what your thinking "you didn't go close". Well dumbass me came right from work and forgot to take off my saftey reflective jacket, so you could see me from a mile away.

Met State Admin

Well today after working in the morning I decided I would drive up to Avalon Gay. Just driving up from Trapelo road reminded me of the good ole days. I remember when my good friend was a security guard up there, and how we went off roading every night we were up there. So today brought back many memories. I only have one artfag photo of the admin so here it is:

Here are some not so fancy shots:

Bass Ass

Well today I took a ride with my brother down to the Bass Pro Shop at Patriot Place. Then after buying a small air soft gun, we decided to take a ride down the road. after wandering down some back country roads I felt like I should turn around and head back to the interstate, and the place I just happened to turn around in was none-the-less Candycorn State Hospital. I was so shocked, I had no clue that I would go to it today. I didn't want to drive around in there, because I didn't know about the airsoft gun and all that shit, but I am looking forward to a return trip there.

Then i saw this awesome truck in the parking lot!

One Year Ago

2008-12-26T14:16:00.000-08:00

Exactly 1 year ago I got my first "Fancy Camera". I loved it. This is my first set that i have ever shot with it. I never had so much fun walking around this huge campus. It was a little chilly out, but other then that the day was perfect for shooting. I still have yet to get back and fully explore this place.

Edgere Drive-In

2008-11-09T15:29:00.000-08:00

Well this place was pretty photogenic. It was actually a left turn at the top of my street and 30 miles down the road. But seriously it was worth the ride, in my eyes. I focus much of my attention on the very old sign, because there wasn't much around inside. I could not find the 80 foot screen, it must have been demolished, either that or I was on the opposite side. Well here are my pictures, I tried different styles this time so please give me so feedback.

Fall Photography

2008-11-09T13:01:00.000-08:00

The leaves have never been more colorful in my life. A couple weeks ago I just got my license and just like any kid that gets that freedom I drove around a lot! I never had more fun in my life. I was bored, of course, and went for a ride to the viking tower and found this little "lagoon" like place. I thought it looked so nice. I jumped out of my car and went down to the water and started snapping. This place really is gorgeous.

Westboro State Hospital

2008-10-11T18:15:00.000-07:00

Well one day i drove out route 9. All the way to Worcester, and spotted something. Holy shit it's the clock tower! I was so excited because this place was slated for demo in a few weeks and I got here. I snapped some shots and the cops came, same usual crap, good guy. We left and drove through Westboro and I figured why not find the state hospital, I pulled into a gas station and ask for directions. We were actually pretty much there. We pulled in an saw a small abandoned building and I looked to my right and saw a tower fence with barbed wire, I got the chills, and it just made me think of an INSANE ASYLUM, which it probably is. It was real eerie. This was the only shot I took, and I don't really wish i took more.

This place is not the most exciting place, but I like it. I still remember climbing onto the roof the very first time, holy shit what a view. This place has become a local hang out for kids, like myself expect I'm not a punk. In fact I am not friendly with most Waltham kids. Basically I am posting this to show that everyone starts somewhere for photography, even me, and all those elites that only shoot asylums, you know who you are.

Georges Island

2008-10-05T06:45:00.000-07:00

I was very disappointed when I had to go here. I wanted to goto Peddocks Island but the ferry wouldn't bring me back in time for an appointment so i had to settle with Georges Island and Lovell's Island. I figured Lovell's would be cool, but Georges Island would be boring and like Castle Island in Southie. I was not disappointed and this is my favorite fort ever! I love forts, and ruins. This place was very cool with so much decay. i would however recommend going in the morning because school groups flood this place if you go later.

The Double B

2008-10-03T18:49:00.000-07:00

I have known about this place for a very long time, and I have wanted to check it out. i finally got out here to see it. It was a pretty cool looking building, and very dark on th inside, too dark to walk around. This building reminded me of something that i would find at Met State, probably because it's down the road from metro, or that I cut through there to get here. I love little things like this.

Fort Revere

2008-10-02T15:21:00.000-07:00

Here is a video of Fort Revere that my Aunt took my brother and me to in June after I took my Spanish exam. I was so happy going here because I came out with some nice pictures which can be viewed. at the website New England Exploration

My brother helped me with the editing, and I was happy with my first video.

The Train Station

2008-10-02T14:57:00.000-07:00

I found this place while practicing driving with my grandfather. He took me to the garage he used to work at back in the day and this family's house that watched my mother while my grandmother was in the hospital. I went over this bridge and thought it was cool seeing a bridge in the woods. Then when I came back I saw the train station and swung down there. Then I went home and drove through a big construction site with him. The next weekend I asked my aunt to go for a ride with me to here. She said of course because she thinks this hobby is great, even though it is trespassing. So I snapped my shots and put the camera back in the car and started it up. All the sudden I heard three police cruisers coming down the road, fuck! I'm driving on my permit and the cops came. They were speeding sirens and all. Then they turned through the bend. I was never so relieved in my life, even though i didn't go in, it's just a nice building on the outside.
