Garage of an abandoned property along H26 in Wisconsin. There is a stretch of H26 where the state now owns a number of decent homes that appear recently lived in.

Beside You In Time
I am all alone this time around
Sometimes on the side I hear a sound
Places parallel I know it’s you
Feel the little pieces bleeding through

Even though the clock face is now frozen the world around it nature does not submit to the clock’s authority. Nature ignores the the clock entirely and undermines its authority. Entropy is nature’s subversion to mankind’s hubris.

The Day Kennedy Was Shot
Taken today in an abandoned house in Koshkonong, Wisconsin.
A generation before I was born America survived a national tragedy. President Kennedy was killed by an American, one of our own, trained by the very government he later sought to throw into chaos. A single date, November 22, 1963, shattered the American Dream. Civil unrest, chaos, and war with no meaning followed.
My generation has not learned history’s lesson. CIA trained Osama bin Laden remains uncaptured for his 9/11 crimes. We are still mired in not one, but two wars with uncertain futures that have sent our country into a downward spiral. One of those wars was prefaced entirely on a series of compounding lies. Comedian George Carlin once said that you would have to be asleep to believe in the American Dream. The tragedy is that he was probably right.

I produced a short documentary on Urban Exploration in Wisconsin for my LIBMEDIA 638: Teaching & Learning via Video & Across Distances grad course. There was something about this project that I really latched onto. The resources that went into producing this video far exceeded the requirements, but I am very satisfied with the results. Please enjoy my Wisconsin Urbex short documentary.
Club 26
Three months ago I was driving down H26 towards Milton, WI when I came across an abandoned bar. I took a walk around the bar and found a window open. I didn’t have a flashlight, but I could see that the floor was a little unsteady. No one else was with me and I didn’t want to risk it. One of the cardinal rules of Urban Exploration is to never go alone. I once almost fell three stories checking out a brewery alone in Germany, so I wasn’t going to risk falling again. This weekend I went back with Kaela in tow. Everything in the kitchen is now falling through the floor. Most of the pictures I snapped did not turn out due to poor lighting, but there were a few good ones.
