This is about the closest I can get to going inside one of these abandoned buildings. This was shot through a broken window at Kings Park Psychiatric Facility on Long Island, New York.

This is my kind of photo, Joe! Love all the peeling, grit and grime! I really need to do more of this type of photography.

creepy in a way – but also so intriguing – the paint pulls ya in – and you got close enough for some rich details – 🙂

Someone once told me it’s not UrbEx unless you go inside. However if you hadn’t admitted it I wouldn’t have know . Nice shot Joe.

I would normally go in to a location but this one particular place is pretty shot. My luck I would fall through the floor, LOL. Have a great day David 🙂

Certainly I do wear a respirator every time I’m near/inside these places – asbestos, lead and mold. Great shot of this beautiful location – I’m planning a return there as soon as the leaves begin to turn in the fall. BTW – I also spray down with “Deep Woods” before i head out into tick country 🙂

Ah, is this the building that sported that great broken window in Rule of Thirds, Joe? I have to say that an 85mm zoom wouldn’t come close to being long enough for me! Great, creepy shot. I’ll think of you as I’m lying awake at night trying NOT to think about the UrbEx images I’ve seen today 😉

Wow that looks seriously creepy. But what a great photo it makes Joe! The light coming from up is fantastic, and all that paint peeling off the walls also! Not to mention all the mixed thoughts that I get from watching this photo. 🙂 Not possible to put it into words. A really great shot Joe!

Thank you very much for your kind words Elina 🙂 It always is creepy when I take photos at this facility. To tell you the truth I was more afraid of all the poison ivy and ticks from all the overgrown grass and shrubs. I think the best thing to do before going in these buildings is wear some sort of respirator because of all the asbestos and probably lead paint. Have a great evening.

I think you are right Joe, respirator would be a good idea. Have a great day! 🙂
