THE SPIDER DRAIN

EXPLORING THE UNDERGROUND

drainage systems are a great place to explore also dangerous so if you decide to enter do so with caution.I usually take two flash lights to new drains or my trusty maglight with extra fresh batteries.Boots to keep your feet dry depending on water levels and a tripod and the camera is all I need.Also water to drink is a must!!! 

shot these with my nikon d5100 and rokinon 8mm fisheye lens on tripod with a set timer of 5sec to get in front and camera ,setting at 100 iso f8 and 10-15 sec exposure times while shining my light about.

 there is light in dark places,tho you need to search for them

rabbit hole

After a few years of exploring this drain and using it for photoshoots its become a favorite of mine,also when I first explored it some years ago there was many big and I mean big spiders at the front of the entrance with some crazy colors on them.At the end of the tunnel there is spider webs all over the walls hence why I dubbed it the spider drain.

heres two vids I shot of the spider drain subscribe to my you tube channel for more explores.

GeoCaching

So a friend recently turned me on to the world of Geocaching ive found two so far must say im enjoying it thus far and no that the family (daughter and wife might enjoy it too)Finding caches gets you to new places so bringing the camera will be fun and finding the cache(logbook /treasure)is certainly exciting.Caches range in size from super tiny to very big the ones i found were in a magnetic keyholder the other in an old tin both had tiny log sheets in them which previous searches found and signed.The images below were shot with my cell phone previous cache finds will be with the camera and posted here.

1st images (was located at a walgreens at a green wall)

2nd one was located behind a liquor store in riverside near UCR 

Preview from todays venture(Oldfolks)

Ive been eyeing this spot for some time but never ventured in because I new squatters were leaving in it.Sadly it burnt and whats left is still interesting.The size of the place was big with over 320 rooms big halls and misc rooms.In its heyday it must of been grand.

More images and videos will be posted in the weeks to follow cheers folks

Exploring 2 Walls

So my search for interesting places to photograph found me walking along the railroad tracks off Iowa street here in Riverside,CA.I was on google maps looking up abandoned places as I do and seen the places here in this post which ive named 2 Walls.Now on google maps it looked like a small building with some graffiti on it with some holes in the ceiling so I figured ok lets go explore.So I headed out parked near by and started walking the rails.I was lucky enough t get some shots of a passing train and some cool old cars in a lot before this but that will be on another post.

So i ventured in off the railroad tracks to see a slab of concrete and 2 walls,proceeded to explore and photograph the graffiti.Now some people do not like graffiti but personally I love art so youll see what I see. :)

No up to this point I thought ok so maybe theres something behind these walls,and as I peaked through to the other side I seen the street....Not a total loss of an explore because I was happy to be out shooting and thats what I love to do.

Tv back on the ground

From the wall it looked as tho there could of been a fire or maybe squatters either way the places looked burnt.

looking off there was more graffiti across from the 2 walls

Another trip to abandoned Rubidoux

Rubidoux Community services district sewage disposal plant

I first came here some years ago looking for an entrance which lead about one story down,rusted staircase with a metal bed and papers from the 1950's laid in wait.Tho when i finally went it was sealed up by the city.Sadly squatters had made a mess of the place,in another part of the abandoned plant there was a room which had a fridge and a bed etc....

Ivy covers much of the property year round which makes a great backdrop which ive used it right before I took these shots.You can see some of that work on my facebook page at (fkimagery).

Sticking my camera into a window to capture the view,I was thinking of jumping through but only two bars are broken off so dont think this old husky body of mine could fit through.Also a certain camp ground sits only a few feet away,im sure there were a few on lookers.

Walking away I felt happy has I got my video and finally a shot of the inside.
