The Great Magnet? Glad it was just the filter and not the camera or lens. Cool shot. Great gritty detail and textures.

I like the wide angle, great composition! The 'private' label is funny

Nice photo we got here! this is pretty scary, and it really feels weird, as if i have been on this place before it was turned this way... anyways, im having goosebumps while seeing this photo, it's really great and scary at the same time.

Another interesting shot. Really like these old structures, lots of great detail. Your processing is perfect for these.

Shattered

As I huffed and puffed my way up the floors of the Wurlitzer building, I reached one floor which was particularly photogenic. I set my tripod up in the dim interior and attached my camera to it, or so I thought. As I reached back into my bag for a cable release the camera slipped out of the rotten tripod's head. Panic gripped me, as I had only one camera with me for the entire trip. It had been a subject of much internal debate what equipment to bring and now, on the very first day, I had killed my most critical piece of equipment...purchased, by the way, a mere week before the trip. Mercifully, The Great Magnet saw fit to take pity on me, and the camera landed on the lens. The filter was smashed, but the lens and camera seemed to operate fine. I counted my blessings.
