Very nice. Kinda eerie too. Reminds of a show I was watching on the History Channel about the men who built America. Morgan, Chase, Rockefeller...

You can get some pretty good urbex style images at Sloss Furnaces.

GM Sacco, excellent photo that makes me think of Cinema Paradiso.

I've never heard of "urbex" before. Is it some internet thing? I do love the pic though!!

That's pretty cool These cambos superwide are handheld cameras?

@ericantonio:
1. urbex stands for urban exploration. You can find a good definition of it in a previous page in this thread;
2. the Cambo Wides are simplified field cameras for 4x5 no longer in production: shift, no tilt, focusing helicoid. FL from 47 to 90 (possibly more, but it wouldn't make much sense). They can be used handheld as they have a grip and are reasonably small and light. However, especially for architecture, the 47mm (Cambo Wide 470, equivalent to a 15mm for the 135 format) is going to be quite tough to shoot handheld.
