Fox 19 Coverage

For those who missed Gordon Bombay and myself on Fox 19, they've uploaded the video to their website. Check it out below to hear a bit from the guys behind the photos:

Urban Exploration on TV

Mainstream media is abuzz with excitement about "urban explorers." After a great article by Quan Truong at the Cincinnati Enquirer, interest in this site, and the site of our good friend Gordon Bombay at Queen City Disco grew quite a bit. The AP picked up the story and newspapers like the Boston Herald, The Examiner, USA Today, and even the Dayton Daily News ran the story as well. Anyways, the hobby of taking pictures of old abandoned buildings was interesting enough that the gang at the Fox 19 Morning Show wanted to have a chat about exploring and the photography that goes with it.

So be sure to tune in to Fox 19 on Friday, January 29 at around 8:30am to see myself and Gordon Bombay try to not make fools of ourselves on live TV.

Thanks to Amie Dworecki for the photo of Venkman and Gordon, and thanks to someone in Detroit for leaving an old TV in their abandoned building.
