Who says getting an unexpected call from a lawyer is bad thing?

Last week an internet acquaintance who had seen some of my past industrial/abandoned decay work contacted me to see if I was interested in shooting an abandoned county jail.  Of course I was interested and was literally counting down the hours until I could get inside.

Scott had been given access to the jail due to a case that he has been working on and gave me an excellent tour of the site. Had he not shown me around I don’t think I would have had the nerve to explore some of the darker regions of the facility. To all you abandonment junkies out there this is still considered a jail and trespassing on this site could result in some serious consequences, so keep out.

Enjoy the photos and thanks again for the invite Scott!

For the past year I have been had my mind set on shooting photos of a few sites in Carbon and Emery counties.  On all of my most recent trips down that direction I had “planned”  on making the stops but always found some sort of excuse to just head home.  So this past weekend Nick, Stephen, Clint and I made a day trip down south with the sole purpose of shooting photos.

We headed out of Orem around 8:30 and made our way to the old Kaiser mine buildings near Sunnyside, UT.  After we found our way in we geared up and explored the entire complex. The locker room is pretty amazing with the hanging baskets and green tiles.

After an hour or two at Kaiser we packed up and headed over towards Horse Canyon to the Geneva mine buildings.

We made our way back to Price for lunch before we drove up to Helper and up Spring Canyon.  Udink provided some coordinates for a few sites in the area.

Last stop of our day trip was at the old Thistle town site, We explored just few of the flooded homes and old foundations before we called it a day.
