Bridges and Rails

I was bored one Sunday afternoon so I decided to skim through Google Maps and see what the world was hiding in plain sight. After skimming along the banks of the Blackstone River I found this collection of rail bridges closely packed together in a little town just over the border. Not being one to pass up an adventure so close to home I set out to find the location. This particular spot was very interesting in the sense that it holds 4 different sets of tracks from over the years.

My first trip to Ladd

Im sure everyone is familiar with this place. As much as it is a dark stain in the history of Rhode Island I have wanted to explore it for a good many years. Like most people i had heard stories of security, bodies being found, people being mugged, and of course the ever present ghost stories. It took some convincing, but on a beautiful 50 degree Monday afternoon i set out with Ademan to check the place out.

Upon our arrival it apeared as though we were completely alone. There were a few cars parked at the nearby Pheonix House, and some people walking the grounds, but no sign of police or security. We circled Fogarty once before we found our entrance. We quickly jumped in and made our way up to the top floor to begin our epic explore. Upon taking out my tripod i quickly relized that my camera was not in my bag! We raced back to the truck, got my camera, and here is the little bit of the campus we got to explore. Enjoy.

Putting Around

It was Monday, I was laid off from work, and Ryan had nothing to do. I awoke to a message on my Facebook page asking me if I wanted to go check out the old RT 44 recreation center. Having driven by it a few times I decided it was worth a trip back to shoot it. So with Dunkin' coffees in our hands we set out on our first adventure of the day.

More Random Photography.

Ademan's "photofaggery" is wearing off on me I think. Heres some random shots from earlier today that i actually made an effort on.
