The bioprocessing plant in Otisville. Was later run by a pharamceutical company. Tetanus and Diphtheria vaccines were produced here for the army. In the 1970's, the last mule from WW2 passed away from old age at this location. This was the final resting place for many NYPD horses, whom were often used for samples to create a synthetic blood substitute. The research, however, went incomplete as the company had filed bankrupcy and had increasing threats made against them for animal cruelty.
Why do we explore? My personal reason is to find the ruins of a better, simpler time. Ruins tell stories that people never could. Walls, halls, and doorways speak volumes of their pasts. By covering these grounds and finding these ruins, I am allowing them to tell me their tales; By photographing them I preserve them forever, like books. The purpose is simple: To take a step into history, and go where few dare to go anymore in search of the memories and knowledge of a better time.
