Visiting an abandoned mental institution

I love visiting abandoned places, actually when someone shows us around and they bring us to the tourists spots I also like that but I get a real kick out of seeing stuff that you normally would not.

 

During our stay in New York we had two amazing days where we were shown around by 2 of our friends.
The first day was a nice drive to the Stone Pony (which I quickly labelled as the stoned pony but that’s a different story) and some other sights (which was awesome) the second day we visited an abandoned mental institution near New York. Annewiek checked us in in facebook which she better couldn’t have done seeing some of the reactions like “finally”, so don’t worry we were not admitted 😀

 

It was a huge area we could walk around but we were not able to get in the buildings which was a shame, we did try (of course) but as soon as we walked towards a door we heard the sirens of the local security which asked us for our IDs and what we were doing, because I saw this as a warning we decided the outside would also be ok to shoot.

 

The lighting was very harsh but I think we got some nice images anyway, so today I share this album with you guys.

Apple in New York

I’m always in for cool things and let’s be honest a cool store is always nice to visit.
I think the Apple store near Central Park in New York is an almost magical place to visit as a photographer, it’s not only a huge store that is open 24/7 but it’s also (I think) a marvel of design.

 

The following shots I took near and in the building.
If you’re ever in NY make sure to check it out.
