In the fall of 2014, I was contacted by WTHR Indianapolis reporters Jeremy Brilliant and Steve Rhodes about a segment that they were doing about the abandoned buildings in Gary, Indiana. They asked if I would come along and if I wouldn’t mind being interviewed. The segment aired March 18th at 5:30pm EST in Indianapolis.

An old, abandoned hallway in an abandoned building found while doing urban exploration photography. This hallway looks as if it had caught on fire at one time and it is coming to a point where it is almost too dangerous to be in this area due to the unstable walls and ceiling.

The view from the balcony of the Palace Theater in Gary, Indiana. The Palace Theater was a popular place to see a show in the mid-20th century, however it was closed in the mid-1970s and never reopened again. Today, the theater sits empty and rotting in the middle of downtown Gary on Broadway Avenue and is a popular place for urbex photography, even drawing in wedding crowds that want unique photos.
