    ruined industry

    Inside a mothballed power plant in TO. For reasons the location remains un-named.

    Man oh man...

    Amazing stuff. I have this thing for degraded industrial locales. It's a shame the place is in the state it is, but from a visual point of view, it looks to me like a gold mine...

    Axle,

    Crazy shots. Interesting to see the run down factories and all their parts. Definately a neat place to shoot!

    Well done,

    Jared

    Hey Steve and Jared! Thanks for the comments. Yeah the place was incredable to shoot in. I need to go back, there's apparantly lots more to see. If I go back I'm going in the summer, easer to get at, and harder for the security to track me getting in. You leave tracks in the snow....

    What's really sad is the fact that most of these places go unoccupied for years while the companies collect the tax write-offs instead of trying to find another way of using the land.
    Nice series, Axle.

    Good work. This place could feed a lot of creative hunger. Lot of posiblities here.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
