deviantART is kind of annoying. I don't get the comments I'm looking for and all the decent people I was watching stopped posting, and pretty much everybody worthwhile is over at Flickr, where I am. If you're there too, come on and connect with me! http://www.flickr.com/photos/smsailorneptune/

I do, er... I will, in like 2 more days. Another explorer and I are making the trek up north to check out an old asylum on Friday. We've explored together once before, and by far it was my favorite exploration, so this trip should be nothing short of epic. Also lately I've learned that several of my favorite things, specifically food related things, are Maine state specific. Whoopie pies, italian sandwiches, american chop suey, red hot dogs, and bean suppers all get left behind when I move to Buffalo. Very sad. But hey, I'll give those up for the world's best Buffalo wings...

I've been wanting to get into this particular state hospital for a long time, but I knew the risks of infiltrating were high, and it is a very long trip for an uncertain exploration. So I took a chance and called about getting access.  They didn't say "no", right off the bat. In fact, they seemed interested to have a photographer come and take pictures of the complex. So I figured the powers that be would deny my request, or maybe file it away and forget about it forever. Today around 1:30 my phone rang. It was the hospital. I answered, thinking I would get a big fat NO, but instead, the lady on the other end asked when I could come... I GOT
