Just a few from a shot I did with Dokk. I really have to thank him for taking me and introducing me to the urban exploration scene. He's got real smarts when it comes to these places and knows the locations well. I only wish we had more time to shoot and wish I hadn't given up when we went to the stockyards (I was exhausted and had to work the next day.) I hope he's cool with meeting up again sometime and didn't mind my noobness and clumsiness too much. Old places like this are definitely a challenge to present. He's moving to lewisville so hopefully location won't be an issue in the future. Maybe he'll find some good areas in Dallas we can go check out. --------------------------- Well my camera is equipped with a 1000 megasquirtle light sensitive array with a megakilo double widget interface and a pseudo-terrafilter. its got 2 million hexafurtles with a 10 kiloplex and a rechargeable virtual combo-backplate. i also fitted an optical fillyfangle with predictive threshold histogram monitoring. it also has a light sensitive light meter and a time sensitive shutter mechanism. |

Security is tight so getting to in here now could be hard. There is security here 24/7 guarding the building. If you do venture in here take a friend for safety. I won't reveal the exact address but a tad of research like others have said and you'll find it. --------------------------- Well my camera is equipped with a 1000 megasquirtle light sensitive array with a megakilo double widget interface and a pseudo-terrafilter. its got 2 million hexafurtles with a 10 kiloplex and a rechargeable virtual combo-backplate. i also fitted an optical fillyfangle with predictive threshold histogram monitoring. it also has a light sensitive light meter and a time sensitive shutter mechanism. | |

It is not hard to find and most of the time the gates are open. I went by there a few weeks ago, but was exhausted after shooting in the heat. It is by the stockyards. When you go down to park keep going as if you were going to exit. It is on the other side of what used to be Spaghetti Warehouse and now is being turned into condos...I will have to venture out there and see what i can get into...seems like a great spot! |

I found this, but it was being watched by security so we didn't get to actually go inside. That totally sucked. I am going back in hopes of actually getting to see this great location from the inside. Thanks so much for all the info on how to find it!! |
