Site pictures

The specific site within the region we chose is ~230 south 550 west. It sits behind or basically on top of the junkyard of Thomas Electric Company. The inside had some really cool old motors and fans that we photographed. This building has been around since 1917. Across 2nd South used to be the red light district where prostitutes were housed after being moved from Regent Street in 1908 (in between state and main and in between 1st and 2nd south). This area is considered old Greek town. The closest Greek thing I can think of is the Greek orthodox church on 3rd south and 3rd west.

I really like these...

Smith & Edwards junkyard exploration

These pictures are from some house in the junkyard at Smith & Edward in Ogden. I'm not entirely certain why there is a house there, but it was among other random junk like a train and something that looked like a rocket.

more pictures...

Mikaela's shoes got some pricky things lodged in her shoes. I'm pretty sure there's still some in there. After these here photos we went north to the 800 north 500 west region where we were apparently in a Homeland Security property...we were asked to leave, no photos of those sensitive eroding bricks I guess.

1st urban explorer outing...

our first big exploration of salt lake city warranted a more appropriate feeling of salt lake crazy. We veered into a less scary area of 700 west 350 south and found some really old cars and industrial garbage. I was really liking the texture and colors found on these objects, so I took alot of photographs of this.

Dorothea Lange

We researched photographers to look at the different ways people view things and their approach to capturing their ideas. I researched Dorothea Lange. some of her photos of depression era and Japanese internment camps are below:
