I wasn't in this particular place alone, but I have gone solo a lot in the past.

The coffin had a liner, a pillow, and straw inside.

Thanks, everything on here is digital; this was taken with a 300D Rebel. I do levels and contrast work on many photos.

It was a sad day, observing the demise of a piss-warm Coors. Thanks for the condolences. My loss was a severe downer.

I am really impressed by this shot, if I may ask, what kind of camera do you use to take these photos? Triditional 35mm film? or completely digital and post processed in Photoshop? I ask this, cos many of the B&W shots you've taken are amazing and have a great amount of detail with a great contrast balance. (something I'm still struggling with. Most of mine that I have takien in B&W (with film) have too much contrast and the image is washed out or what I take on my digital but just doesn't turn out as good as a triditional film camera can be.

Awesome shot overall :)

Very depressing indeed.

The reason why these buildings can't be used is because of the asbestos that was used during construction. I also believe that the paint used on all of the buildings constructed before 1979 contain lead. The price of cleaning up these buildings is over $80 million. No one is willing to absorb that cost.
