Good outcome, but I bet your hair stood on end.

It most certainly did...

My eye is always drawn to what your eye sees in long hallways, tunnels, and the like. So those are my favorites here. Maybe because I want to explore them, but in reality, I would afraid of those long ghost walks.

Depth in photography has always intrigued me, and I'm always up for a long ghost walk.

Glen,

Your photos and story truly resonate with me. Both are lovely.

I’ve been attracted to shooting repurposed buildings ever since we moved to a suburb on the border of Chicago’s west side. Most structures and storefronts along the east/west arteries have been resurrected as houses of worship. My son was still attending school in the city and it was a feast for the eyes. Now the area is on the precipice of urban development. I wish I’d been more committed to taking photos in the beginning. Most were done on the fly with my iphone. Many buildings have been razed.

Thank you. I did an entire series of photos on a corner in NYC where the buildings were being torn down, and have since been replaced by two multiple story hotels. It was a line of mom and pop shops on a highly desirable (at least for developers) piece of property. I might try to dig that up at some point.

That would be great!
