RE: Fails of the Urban Explorer: More Bacup
I think I might have asked before, but is it considered cheating in the UrbEx world just to call up the estate agents and pretend to be interested in buying to get a look round those places on the market like St Saviours?
I don't think I would have the nerve to pull it off. I would be clicking away at every moment and they might twig.
It would also take away the thrill of being somewhere you technically shouldn't.
Before we had the kids my wife and I used to go out every Saturday afternoon visiting all sorts of places for sale across the Midlands that we had no intention of buying.
We managed to keep it up for almost a year before we started to get too recognised.
Satisfying the curiousity... or just being nosey.
Wish I had the time to do that, I spend far to long 'here'. I cant seem to extract myself from it, other than to go exploring, go to work, sleep or get dragged out shopping.
Were these places for sale, like the ones I visit or did they have people living inside?
We always went for empty ones like pubs, churches and even an old mansion once or twice.
Unusual hobby! I thought I was bad.., if you had thought to take lots of snaps you could have been posting all this stuff. We will have to do an Urbex collaboration at some point..
I'm trying to collate interested people for an incoming SMT. Do you think there's any legs in the idea, or too early?
Just read your post on it. Definitely worth a punt - just the sort of community I would think we need to get on Steem.
I'm not a Urbex pro like you, but I would certainly join in.
You could easily join in, you probably drive past many every day. Some are simply walk-ins, the photography you can gain is great.
A little photo manipulation and you can have something special. I will try it.., hopefully it was gain some legs.
Great, if I can be of any help to get it started just give me a shout.
