RomanyWG first started exploring abandoned Locations in 1967 which was a hunted house at the end of the road WG lived on. as i recall it was a group of 3 young kids. He says the house didn't have cobwebs or much dust in fact they lady who lived there previously had left everything as it was cosmetics, perfumes still on the dressing table. it was as if who ever lived there had only pop'ed down the road for the morning paper.

Urban Exploring is still filled with unforgettable moments. Walking around some places looking at them as they have been left untouched like a few Asylums that are featured in this book one in this book in particular Asylum in the UK. It's been shut down now for 10 years but almost everything was left in situ. There are Wheelchairs, beds, furniture,curtains, even drugs and syringes. Only now has nature has started to take over.
The English Patient - RomanyWG
Using a Nikon D700 using Natural Lighting.
A Hospital is a building and an institution heavy under the weight of its own symbolism. Its the triumph of science and reason over centuries of quackery. It is a cornerstone of a functioning society, visibly and physically raising the standards of living for all. Hospitals are furious hives of activity, always busy and aways lit up like electric beacons through the night. They are symbolic of hope for recovery, care, help and all the good things about things about being human.

These kinds of places are, the the photographers in this book what i like to call 'Urbex Gold; it is not uncommon for any photographer shown in beauty in decay to travel for 24 hours to get that one shot that they are looking for.
