Urban Exploration

About me:

Unfortunately due to the fact that almost all of our little excursions are illegal, you don't get to know us. On this myspace page you won't see photos of our faces, nor will you see photos of our bodies, clothing, or personal effects in and way. We are not ashamed of what we do, no, we very much enjoy it. It seems that though what we do is a quest for knowledge, authorities of sorts have decided we are of a criminal mentality. I could rant for some time on my feelings of this particular subject, but I will spare you. I will tell you this: the objective of our group is to explore. This is a bit about what we are not. -We are not vandals. Graffiti will often be shown on our photos, yet not one of us has any talent for the art. We do however appreciate it, and therefor display it. -We are not bums or squatters. We all have homes, with beds where we sleep at night. -We are not partiers. We all do party, not to say we don't. What we mean is many young people seek places like these to drink and get high away from the eyes of forms of authorities. As I said, we have homes. -We are not ghost hunters. Although ghost hunters often give us our best tips, this is not something we choose to take part in. Some thing to help you understand us, told by people more famous than we are: "I'm not lost. I'm exploring." -Jana Stanfield "Not all those who wander are lost." —J.R.R. Tolkein "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." — T. S. Eliot "I do not explain, I explore." -Marshall McLuhan "Make voyages! Attempt them...there’s nothing else." —Tennessee Williams "If people never did silly things, then nothing intelligent would ever get done." —Ludwig Wittgenstein     "You can accelerate your development by giving yourself a fresh set of challenges, or the same set viewed from a different angle, every day. Explore a different path – if it's a dead end, explore another." -Paul Foxton "We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive at what we started And know the place for the first time" -T.S. Eliot "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)   “It still amazes me how many millions goes to discovering another star in the galaxies when, for all we know, we are still sitting on top of another undiscovered world beneath out feet.”  -Martin Dansky
