What is it that makes an abandoned building so haunting? A sadness of the history lost, perhaps, or thoughts of unrealized dreams?

Not quite sure if the pictures below fit in with anyone's definition of fun. They make me quite sad, as I look at the remnants of past glory and how once stately, cosy interiors have been left to rot. Like animals in a shelter, I'd love to give them all a second chance if I…

I live in a rural town in northern Wisconsin, so there’s no shortage of abandoned farmhouses and barns. A few years ago, I came across an exquisite abandoned home on the side of a country road. I continued driving down the road until I found a place to turn around. I slowly pulled up the driveway. My heart was racing. The driveway wrapped around, so I knew I could easily hide my car on the side of the house. The dwelling had no doors or windows remaining, so I knew I could easily access the inside. I grabbed my camera gear and headed into the main floor of the house. I only spent a few minutes in the house because I was afraid I would get caught. I guess that’s part of the thrill for me.
When I was young, I fell in love with abandoned buildings. After I got a camera as a present, I started photographing the beauty there. I mostly photograph empty buildings with great staircases or interiors.
