Maybe it's not the safest place on my city, but it's a quite an interesting location for a walk, and cross the east and west part of Rancagua. It's also one of my favourite places to capture lomographs!

Doel is a small village in Belgium, on the border of the river Scheldt. It is an old village, with a rich history. Crumbling under the pressure of their ever-expanding neighbour, Antwerp Harbour, it is now heading towards a devastating end. But for as long as it is still there, it will be my favorite place for a lomowalk.

Urban deserts are terrible, sometimes worse than the real desert. One feels a sense of anger, frustration, and helplessness while he is seeing some environmental disaster, while he is passing near closed factories and abandoned buildings, walking around closed and impenetrable places that were once a source of social life. The camera is an excellent tool for raising awareness. Here I propose a few places in my city, hoping for a change.

I have never tried an actual modeling shoot and fancied giving it a go. I had also just been introduced to a website called 28 Days Later. This website is for people to post shots of their urban exploring adventures. The idea is to gain access to forgotten sites those that are run down and disused, and take photos. The buildings are like a time capsule of the day they were shut.

September 2011, Marije (s0y) and I finally took the trip we wanted to do for so long, visit Ukraine, Kiev and in particular, the 30km exclusion zone around Chernobyl, with the ghost town of Prypiat. When I saw the bumper carts, I almost cried. Afterwards, we were exhausted; there was so much to take in. And bringing too many cameras is never a good idea. ;)

The Lehigh Valley, Eastern Pennsylvania, has many cemeteries. Some are maintained and some are ignored while others are maintained just enough so people won't pay attention. The cemetery on 2nd and Ridge Streets in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, looks like one of those cemeteries on the surface but when one looks into the history, the people who maintain it are not to blame.

Just minutes from downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota sits the crown jewel of urban exploration in the Twin Cities – Hamm's Brewery. I've done a lot of urban exploration*, from drains and caves to abandoned factories and hospitals, but Hamm's Brewery is by far my favorite.

We can say that this is a "live" location. In the 50s there were facilities for one of the great fishing companies in the world. Its installations were turned into a big abandoned building 20 years ago. Once thrown below the old building, it has eventually become the "Conference hall" of the city of Vigo.

Last Sunday, I drove to Albenga to take photos of the abandoned factory that I always see when I enter the town. With my Holga camera and SX-70 in tow, I spent half an hour there just taking photos. It was a good spot for picture taking on a gloomy Sunday.

With autumn closing in and the nights getting cold and dark it's about time to shiver a little more- both from the cold and from a picture journey through the abandoned hospital complex at Beelitz-Heilstätten...
