I'd love to.. but we don't have any where. I end up a lot of times taking photos of old, dilapidated machines, like farm equipment and cars.. makes for the best type of photos. I really love your OP pict.

OP again.
You might be surprised at how much industry is in the middle of nowhere. Another site I go to (in picture) is pretty much smack dab in the middle of a corn field. As long as you're willing to drive a few miles out of your way and walk even more, you can find good buildings.

The closest i've gotten is my grandparent's old non-working farm now. There's *so much* photography there, with the rust and fading color.. old tires, old trees, it's amazing.

There's also a huge equipment dumping place.. out in the middle of a field.. but it's all old cars & farm equipment (very antique). It's lovely and there's *so* much color there. Unfortunately, I live right in the middle of San Diego, so there's no such thing as "old buildings" here without the worry of Abestos control or having to climb over a fence (people here are weird). Everyone keeps trying to revamp and rebuild everything. It's a shame.. but there are still some places a few hours away I havent' explored yet. I just don't feel comfortable going alone yet... a tiny petite girl just has a stalker or something creepy waiting to happen sometimes. I have a few of the old machines I can post when I get home, if you're interested.

The northeast US seems to be a good place for that sort of thing, because industry has packed up and moved south and west over time, and a lot of what's left is not shiny and new by any means. I see a lot when I go on long trips, and always wish I had more time for photography.
>> Michifús
That's interesting that you posted these as I just did some similar shooting over Spring Break. However, I did old farmhouses, barns, etc. rather than "Rust Belt" buildings.

Some pretty creepy stuff, especially since the one house was home to a guy that went nuts during the Depression and ended up killing his family. Nobody has lived there since and the original furniture that nobody wanted is still in there.

Once I get the raw images processed and tweaked, I'll post some, but the ones you have are phenomenal!

I love that kind of photography.

Just this week i was on spring break in the vail valley of Colorado

Their is a town near redcliff called Gilson that used to be a zinc mine town. It was abandonded 30 years ago when it was discoverd their disposal of the mines byproduct caused the town to be radioactive. Taking the gamma rays, i trotted into the town with my cannon rebel and AE-1. Took damn near 400 photos of the landscape, the mine, and the buildings.

Im working on uploading them now, and ill post some of the good ones.

i live in CT and you're not joking. there's a thing going on in my city and neighboring ones where they're redoing all the crapped-out old factories and turning them into apartments or shops though so it's getting hard to find real good shots of the true misery of the sate of industry in new england. i will keep looking though.

OP again. Maybe I should get a name.
I never go alone. Never. I usually go with the guy in the picture. It's a good idea to have someone that you know well and is interested in the same things to come along with you so that if you run into any trouble, at least there's another person to at least TRY to smooth things over.

I really like a lot of these. I know of some great abandoned and derelict places but I never have the time to go back with my camera.

I tried to take some pics over spring break (attached)

Cool shots everyone.

I do it too, sometimes. I don't go to really extreme places yet though, due to lack of a buddy to assist me (as>>38824pointed out, it's wise to have one). But enjoy what I got so far.

All various B&W films, developed by me.

This one's kinda stinker, but goes with the theme.

All for now. Would've been more if I weren't such a lazy ass when it comes to processing the scans.
