50 Bizarre & Abandoned Things I’ve Photographed

Recently I had a good long look through some of my grunge photos spanning several years of photographic dedication. Of all the strange, creepy, and off-the-wall places I’ve wandered into for the purposes of taking photographs, one thing remains the same; for whatever reason, I almost always come across some unusual, unexpected, and sometimes even bizarre discoveries. The photos I’ve selected are just a small portion of what I have on Flickr, but they are what I consider to be some of the best examples of unique and unusual discoveries.
Every photographer must, at one time or another, place themselves in an awkward situation to get the kinds of shots they are looking for. I’ve had the unique opportunity to place myself in some very strange and sometimes risky situations in hopes of getting that one elusive shot. The comments that people leave on my Flickr stream and on my blog are what inspire me and make the process worthwhile.
Clicking the thumbnails will bring you to the corresponding Flickr page where you can view the sets and related shots.

Hi, Thomas, you really are a very good photographer. I like all the pictures. From your pictures, I can see many things we have abandoned. Taking a picture of them is a great way to save and show to people. If possible, I really like to do as you bring with my camera, although I do not have the great Photography technology like you

Your such an artist Thomas, you are giving those abandoned things some life even though they are forgotten or some sort of a junk.

I have always been fascinated by abandoned buildings and places ever since I was a young boy (sadly before I knew how to take halfway decent photographs). What you see here is just a sampling of a few years worth of exploration.
What should be your concept about taking those abandoned photos, and what motivates you into doing it?

The motivation is seeing places and things that nobody has seen in a long time. One of the buildings I explored recently has been closed for many years (since the 1980′s according to some documented reports), so being one of the few who sees it in its current state of abandonment is a real treat. I’m one of those people who is fascinated by decay and things forgotten. Anything left behind I see as relics of modern society that are forgotten and left in a state of suspended animation in which the ravages of time take over and create the scene. It’s fascinating.
Cool photos! Some of them give me the creeps. Still thanks for sharing.

[...] What You Might Find Just like anything else in life, it’s anybody’s guess what you might find when you explore a place that nobody has inhabited for any legitimate purpose for any lengthy amount of time. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I have come across pretty much anything that can be imagined; everything from discarded trash to medical waste, old furniture to show costumes, and most commonly, discarded dolls. If you can dream it, chances are it’s out there… Somewhere. A few examples, here. [...]
