Rusted Beauty

Ahhh, rust...Where neglect just feels so right! There's a hidden charm and beauty to the slow oxidation of metal that fascinates me.

Thats either rusted copper, or a vulcan crime scene... Behind the City Market.


Rust, fire escapes, and graffitti...These are a few of my favorite things... Behind One Indiana Square, close to the under construction building 3Mass.


The North end of the canal, close to 10th street.


North Illinois Street

The next three shots are from the same building on Court Street, close to East Washington Street and the Jail II.

I love this shot!

This one too. Those old metal stars are all over older parts of Indianapolis.

Under a railroad underpass on the section of Market street that is under construction.

Volatile Separation - A Portrait of the Citizens Gas and Coke Plant

Now that this post has been titled like a 'Made for television movie', lets get down to business...

Awww man, that's no fun...


I have no idea of what the function is for most of these various parts of the plant, so I won't even try to explain them ;-)






As I walked by, I could hear the very distinct sound of extreme volumes of gas under pressure flowing though these pipes.






Probably shouldn't be here, but hey nobody caught me...


This monster can be seen from many different parts of the East side.


I wonder how often these stairs were climbed when this plant was operating?


Not quite sludge, not quite mud...Smludge?

Industrial Indianapolis 2

This is a new series that I'm experimenting with.

On Sumner Avenue, close to East Street.

Along Deloss Avenue. This area is off of Shelby Street, not far from Fountain Square.

His and Hers?

Along Shelby Street North of Fountain Square.

Along the White River on a defunct stretch of White River Pkwy. Those small dots in both of the shots below are geese.
