Pittsburgh UrbanEx Series

I started taking photos back in high school as a hobby, then began urban exploration at the start of college when I first moved to Pittsburgh. Photography helps develop an "eye" -- as one progresses, it becomes easier to notice patterns, colors, and shadows that make for pleasing images, a process I'm still learning. But urban exploration does the same thing. Do it enough and you'll walk around a city noticing which buildings have decaying shingles, where the sidewalk grates are. And in both photography and urbex, well-placed shadows always pull attention.

I tried to combine these two visual modes and wrote a Python program to warp images further, blurring the boundaries between what one may look for in either photography or exploration.
