Last Chance (Reflection)









Just over a year ago I came across a book of photographs titled "Ghosts in the Wilderness" by Tony and Eva Worobiec. It was an extensive work that involved documenting the abandoned structures of America. This was the catalyst for me to start my own project. Today, I have driven over 10,000 miles, seen almost 150 separate sites, and taken 15,000 photographs. The project has grown in to an obsession that I must document all these places before they are completely gone. Before, I used to not show very much of this work to anyone, but I recently had a class I had to start a blog. So here I am, making a sort of photo blog, travel log of the places I go and experience. This blog is a fraction of the places visited, but it is growing week by week.
Freedom/Urban/Exploration, I will continue to update for as long as there are new buildings to explore. My photography is growing and changing, and this project will grow and change as I do. Thanks for all who have supported and helped me in my photographic pursuits.

-N.B.

These latest set of photos are from Last Chance, Colorado. This is the first place I have ever visited and so I made a pilgrimage to see how much has changed. I kept the photos simple and pure, all shot natural light with my 50mm lens, and no post editing. Enjoy.
