Westboro State Hospital

Well one day i drove out route 9. All the way to Worcester, and spotted something. Holy shit it's the clock tower! I was so excited because this place was slated for demo in a few weeks and I got here. I snapped some shots and the cops came, same usual crap, good guy. We left and drove through Westboro and I figured why not find the state hospital, I pulled into a gas station and ask for directions. We were actually pretty much there. We pulled in an saw a small abandoned building and I looked to my right and saw a tower fence with barbed wire, I got the chills, and it just made me think of an INSANE ASYLUM, which it probably is. It was real eerie. This was the only shot I took, and I don't really wish i took more.

Geabler

This place is not the most exciting place, but I like it. I still remember climbing onto the roof the very first time, holy shit what a view. This place has become a local hang out for kids, like myself expect I'm not a punk. In fact I am not friendly with most Waltham kids. Basically I am posting this to show that everyone starts somewhere for photography, even me, and all those elites that only shoot asylums, you know who you are.

Georges Island

I was very disappointed when I had to go here. I wanted to goto Peddocks Island but the ferry wouldn't bring me back in time for an appointment so i had to settle with Georges Island and Lovell's Island. I figured Lovell's would be cool, but Georges Island would be boring and like Castle Island in Southie. I was not disappointed and this is my favorite fort ever! I love forts, and ruins. This place was very cool with so much decay. i would however recommend going in the morning because school groups flood this place if you go later.

The Double B

I have known about this place for a very long time, and I have wanted to check it out. i finally got out here to see it. It was a pretty cool looking building, and very dark on th inside, too dark to walk around. This building reminded me of something that i would find at Met State, probably because it's down the road from metro, or that I cut through there to get here. I love little things like this.

Fort Revere

Here is a video of Fort Revere that my Aunt took my brother and me to in June after I took my Spanish exam. I was so happy going here because I came out with some nice pictures which can be viewed. at the website New England Exploration

My brother helped me with the editing, and I was happy with my first video.


The Train Station

I found this place while practicing driving with my grandfather. He took me to the garage he used to work at back in the day and this family's house that watched my mother while my grandmother was in the hospital. I went over this bridge and thought it was cool seeing a bridge in the woods. Then when I came back I saw the train station and swung down there. Then I went home and drove through a big construction site with him. The next weekend I asked my aunt to go for a ride with me to here. She said of course because she thinks this hobby is great, even though it is trespassing. So I snapped my shots and put the camera back in the car and started it up. All the sudden I heard three police cruisers coming down the road, fuck! I'm driving on my permit and the cops came. They were speeding sirens and all. Then they turned through the bend. I was never so relieved in my life, even though i didn't go in, it's just a nice building on the outside.
