I used a monopod to steady my camera enough to use long exposures and no flash to get many of these shots.

Nice pano – I love this space
and death…
UFO overlord death, at that.

"sign the waiver’?
I’m imagining what is in that document and feeling uneasy…
Intriguing set of photos
I’m sure I signed my life away, probably should have read it. The space was pretty raw, that’s what I loved about it. You entered through the entrance to a long abandoned, grease and dust encrusted Chinese restaurant in near darkness, and then had to wend your way through a labyrinth of unmarked doors. It was a delight.
Sounds like my kind of place
great shot
Having the opportunity to roam through that space was so much fun.
