This is what they mean when they say art therapy. . . right?

The Shining
“Monsters are real. Ghosts are too. They live inside of us, and sometimes, they win.” – Stephen King
Get out.
“We like companionship, see, but we can’t stand to be around people for very long. So we go get ourselves lost, come back for a while, then get the hell out again.” – John Krakauer
The Humans
“Dark matter is needed to hold galaxies together. Your mind is a galaxy. More dark than light. But the light makes it worthwhile.” – Matt Haig
I’m back.
Prime
This is me reluctantly agreeing with Denny that a prime lens is definitely what I needed…
(Gallagher Pier, Buffalo NY)
Take Me to Church
Command me to be well
Church of Transfiguration, Buffalo, New York
Oasis
Sadly, global warming isn’t real – so it looks like I won’t be able to get as many of these shots.
I’m kidding
(Hamburg Beach, New York)
Our Father
Forgive us our trespasses as we (accidentally find ourselves in abandoned places) forgive those who trespass against us.
Church of Transfiguration, Buffalo, New York
Hallowed Hallways
In the words of Al Capone (prisoner of these halls), “I have built my organization upon fear.”
Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia
Open Wide
Took me a month to get around to editing these pictures – clearly, I do not know the…drill.

Life will be good
Do what you love, love what you do (or do what you hate so that eventually you can do what you love).
Garden of the Gods, Colorado
Jack on the Rocks
There is no cold that Whiskey can’t fix. (It wasn’t cold in the Grand Canyon, but I’m more of talking about being sick)
South Kaibab Trail, Arizona
Lit
I mildly despise the lighting and composition of this picture, but I’m still going to post it. The red thing in the sky is a windsurfer. I miss the beach.
Hamburg Beach, New York
Planted
Two caveats.
- I totally put those dandelions there.
- This was taken in the era of me not even shooting in full quality JPEG so the image quality is poor at best.
Akron Falls, New York
Flares
Totally ruining my continuity because I just want everybody to be reminded that there is a sun and although it is hiding right now it is still damn beautiful.
Hamburg Beach, New York
Peeling
My aunt used to work in this kitchen. Newsflash: no one works in it now.
ICantTellYou, New York
Oculus
I took this sitting in a chair with my camera pointing up – hovering near the 6 inches of frozen slush below me. Needless to say my nose was in all of the pictures – except this one.
ICantTellYou, New York
Jilted
It’s like jack in the box, but in a wheelchair, and much more f’d up.
ICantTellYou, New York
Room for One
I am not into Halloween, but I am into abandonment. So this is not a Halloween post, it is an art of decay post. Or if you insist, it is a Halloween post. Boo.
ICan’tTellYou, New York
Closing In
A reminder for everyone to stay focused on the goal at hand and not the other bullshit. And by everyone. I mean just myself.
Front Park, Buffalo, New York
Beauty Before Darkness
“The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.”
This is my favorite sunset picture and my favorite quote so really this is my peak.
Wilkeson Pointe, (Buffalo) New York
