Urban Infiltration pt. II

Yesterday my brother and I met up for another round of urban infiltration into the decaying infrastructure of buildings around the city that are 70+ years old.

This time our target was the New York State Tuberculosis clinic in the 1940's turned Children's Mental Health clinic in the late 50's and early 60's.

The campus houses 7 buildings in various states of decay from easily infiltrated, to unsafe to enter, period.

The largest of the buildings, a 7 story structure with hundreds of rooms and corridors was our target, these are a few of the photographs...

I was going to take my equipment yesterday, however I was overly concerned about the dust factor, which wasn't a problem.
We intend to return this afternoon to explore the vast network of underground tunnels which connect the various buildings on the campus and I'll most likely bring my 5D and 50mm 1.4

they only pull then from inside your head so other people can see them.

These images are simply spectacular.
