Do you love abandoned places? I do. In fact if I had my dream filmmaking gig, I'd take Ron Fricke (Baraka) and his too-amazing-to-use cameras and spend the rest of my days shooting abandoned places. Okay, it's a dream, it's supposed to be self-indulgent.

If you can't get enough of the rusting remnants of industry and the crumbling edifices of empire, no place on earth is better than the former Soviet Union. But if you are like me you have no time or resources to explore the bi-continental sprawl of the old red menace,then thank god there is
ENGLISH RUSSIA

Go now, search under 'abandoned' and bask in the decay. Oh yeah, there's a lot of other cool shit there too.

Fuck, man. I love Sisters of Mercy.

Urban exploration is also quite cool. I'll have to dig around and see if I can find that photo tour of Chernobyl. It's haunting photography.

I love urb-ex pics. Just something I don't think I could do myself. I'm too big at 260lbs to go walking around in someplace with questionable floors!

Can you imagine having access to shoot a film (or part of it) there and churning out something like Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis? One of the most atmospheric places on earth and you use it to film a substandard piece of garbage like that.
