Background
First and foremost, I want to say big ups and thanks to L for inviting us and major big ups and thanks to M for getting us in and showing us around! Big ups to Konrad for the company and input too of course
Our interest all pretty much stemmed from Konrad's previous live infiltration of the place. He'd walked through the front door while the workmen were stripping the place out over the summer in nothing but a high vis that I lent him, while I bottled it and went home... We were eager to get back in and see what the extent of the decay was in comparison to his photos of it from some months back.
We'd tried to get in a few nights before and failed. The route to entry was a tad complex and we never would have found it if it hadn't been for M and his excellent knowledge of the site.
The Explore
Twas a relatively mild night and the young residents of a chavvy suburb were running around squirting whipped cream at each other. I nearly flattened them with "the Beast", driving down the street, but luckily avoided them and parked up to wait for L. L turned up and we chatted for a bit and waited for M. M turns up and I have just about enough time to shake his hand before he's off like a rocket and getting into the perimeter! I catch up with my lanky stride and by the time I'm in, a local fat man has spotted me...he shuffles about and gives me a funny look, but doesn't seem all that surprised by what I'm doing. Nothing comes of it and we're in!
Prepare for pic-heavy-ness!...
The reception area. The extent of the degredation of the site over the past 6 months or so becomes apparent. Some areas are flooded and there's smashed up crockery and glass everywhere. I can't help but make loud crunching noises from stepping on it from time-to-time.
Having a doss and a vape in the changing room, with Konrad.
Telephono
Operating theatre.
I was worried about my lighting bleaching out all my shots, so I kept it on a lower setting and my shutter speeds quicker for a more merky effect. I've also tried to cast some interesting shadows in other shots.
There's a room full of old records. All kinds of grim stuff, including records of deaths.
Bath tubs n other jazz.
There's some old ass kit laying around too, like typewriters and tape dictaphones.
Treatment room of some sort. I found the wig laying around on the side
Oxygen bottles. Konrad bled some out and was unimpressed by it's aroma :mrgreen:
Having a doss again.
Signs.
Dentist's chair.
Ton's of old medical journals, ready to go down with the rubble.
Our last call of the night. The chapel.
Was an ace night out though and the pics didn't come out too bad either I'd say that's a result!
Video coming as soon as I get round to editing it.
Thanks for looking,
SJ.
