dude you have the wrong friends; I'd totally go aesthetics-hunting with you :(
My brother has recently become obsessed with film cameras—and is buying them left and right—and I think he's going to lend me one of his old (and very nice) Pentaxes. Then I'll be all over this thread with my own homegrown variety of the pretty and pointless.

okay okay here's something to tide everyone over:
it's the sound of me and some friends breaking into an abandoned, boarded up house to go exploring:

Breaking windows: always fun, but purely amateur hour. If Thief taught me one thing (olol videogames made me do it), it's that you should never leave any evidence of your trespass. Learn to pick locks or go through the duct work. Then the cops can't get you for destruction of property.
The more you know.

I'm not even sure it is trespassing when the house is abandoned. But, point taken. We are amateurs, after all.

For those of you thinking of perhaps learning to pick locks, depending on where you live owning a set of lockpicks isn't strictly illegal as locksmiths may carry them as part of their job. It mostly has to do with intent.
Remember also that not every abandoned building is truly unowned by anyone. They may often be on someone's property- and if not, they're usually owned by the local, state/provincial, or even federal/national/central government. Sometimes they'll be owned by a bank, for example if the owner defaulted on a loan.

Where is that Briareos? The lizzard makes me think Mexico but the fiddlehead with a palm im the background makes me think farther south. Plus the Rage Against the Machine thing makes me think radical Chavez. Gulf Island?
