SCOUNTING NY

Scounting New York
"I work as a film location scout in New York City. My day is spent combing the streets for interesting and unique locations for feature films. In my travels, I often stumble across some pretty incredible sights, most of which go ignored daily by thousands of New Yorkers in too much of a rush to pay attention.

As it happens, it's my job to pay attention, and I've started this blog to keep a record of what I see."

SCOUTING NY

Scouting NY

"For the past four years, I’ve worked as a New York City location scout finding locations for feature films. I’ve been pretty much everywhere at this point, from the highest rooftops to the deepest subway tunnels, from abandoned ruins to zillion-dollar luxury penthouse apartments.
What always amazes me about New York is how much there is to see if you pay attention. Every street has a hidden gem or two, and yet they go largely ignored by thousands of passersby daily who simply don’t have the time to look around them.As it happens, my entire job consists of looking, and I’ve started this blog to keep a record of what I see."

THE NOSTALGIC GLASS

The Nostalgic Glass
"THE CLOSING CHAPTERS in the history of the Russian estate were written a century ago; what remains of the structures today has come to us through sheer architectural momentum. This momentum propelled the estate past a 20th century of revolution, war, disuse and neglect, and into a certain post-historical time, where present and future are marked only by the pace at which the changing seasons take their toll on the buildings, returning them to nature. Many people find this regrettable—and I do too, sometimes—but the fact is that it’s a natural, inevitable process, and not without a certain bright side."

100 ABANDONED HOUSES

100 Abandoned Houses

"The abandoned houses project began innocently enough roughly ten years ago. I actually began photographing abandonment in Detroit in the mid 90’s as a creative outlet, and as a way of satisfying my curiosity with the state of my home town. I had always found it to be amazing, depressing, and perplexing that a once great city could find itself in such great distress, all the while surrounded by such affluence."

WEB URBANIST

Web Urbanist
"What is it about abandoned property and places, frozen in time, that makes them seem more real than any other representation of history we encounter? From individual structures to entire abandoned towns and cities, abandonments large and small inspire the imagination and tell us things about the past in a visceral way. Capturing moments in time, deserted cities, towns, buildings and other abandoned property can be powerfully evocative. Many people break laws, trespass on property and risk life and limb to explore and photograph abandoned places."

ABANDONED 8°round

Abandoned
"Who I am? I'm Uryevich. From my really happy childhood I developed a liking for any rusty metal constructions, cement blocks and for the silence of the wind which walks through this. I like them because there is an infinite life that stays there throughout the years...

Most abandoned buildings, plants and areas appeared in the Soviet Russia ('70-'80) because they belonged to the "state" (meaning nobody) and afterwards ('90) as a result of the economic crisis. But each place has its own story (in which I, to be honest, do not have much interest)."
