I have been very interested, but semi active in a form of photography called gorilla photography. I have been getting more active in it since I want to shoot my own images for the final poster project. In the two days that it didn't rain last week I went out and got some cool shots, a huge adrenaline rush and thoroughly creeped out. Some of these places would make exceptional locations for shooting horror flicks, no joke. Above are a couple shots I got this week.
I discovered something today while I was editing some of the pics and sharing them on the web, it appears I have been calling it GP for a while now and it seems I am the only one. I'm not sure where I got the name from, but I always thought that is what it was called. So, I'm not sure if this form of photography, which is a favorite of David Lynch, my director for the project, and very common in the Soviet Union, Detroit & other rust belt cities (unlimited subject matter in those places), even has a name. So, from this point on I am declaring that it is called gorilla photography. Sounds pretty cool, doesn't it?
Hopefully, I get the perfect shot for this project soon, anyone want to shoot some gorilla photography with me?

That is really cool. My dad owns a machine shop. He used to take me with him when he scouted out industrial sites. If my memory serves me correctly, there are some great places off Boston St. and by Bethleham Steel in Sparrows Point. My dad used to have a bunch of awesome antique lathes & gear cutters, but he donated them to the Baltimore Museum of Industry.
Whoa, cool, Meg. If it ever stops raining I have to go sneak around down there.
