Didn't see your post up there. I get that, but I just find it amusing. My information was not inaccurate, nor have I ever failed to get in there. I just find the entire online community relating to urban exploring, and the people that take it so seriously, entirely hilarious. You're one of them.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and your one is perfectly fine but all I'll say is I take all my photo work seriously in equal amounts, just because some people consider it (urbexing) to be a whole bunch of guff doesn't mean I'm going to treat my work like guff!
Just look at my urbex work on my website and you'll see it's taken pretty seriously but all for good reason.
Also, I forgot to mention something about your Sunday AM comment, sorry but unlike your good self some of us have jobs on a weekday and are occupied with other things on Saturdays.

here I am with a broken hip, my friends took their time poking me with poles, taking photos and laughing rather than helping!
the bruise took weeks to appear, no one believed I'd done anything, especially the ski school I worked for

The fact that is your 'serious' work just makes it funnier.
I'd rather Urbex than be a miserable ****.
I do. I just don't think it makes me a bad ass because of it, or think its anything more than it is - People messing about in abandoned buildings. Even on the harder end of the spectrum, Corsham etc., it is still nothing more than that.

Hardly related to what I said, is it? Either way, I honestly couldn't care less. There are very, very few people on this forum that hold any interest for me.

I said very few. There are some.
However, that is utterly unrelated to what I just said. I think I've made my position pretty clear. I've got nothing against you personally, I just find people who take 'Urbanex' seriously laughable. Get over it.
Khaaaaan, did you ever see Cane Hill ?
Its a naive attitude to have, many of them are totally pro-restoration and advocate protection of the many buildings in the UK that are at risk of loss from demolition and redevelopment. Redevelopment is not a bad thing if done sympathetically. For some its a pure passion for buildings and for others its a hobby, why would you find someone's love of a cause "funny" ?
I've loved buildings for nearly as long as I can remember and have been in many places that people cant get to, I also earn a good living from it, is that laughable also ?

What hobbies and activities do you partake in, other than the obvious internet grumpy man routine?
Just ignore him/her
LOAM not yet,
I only have time free on various Sunday mornings so if 3 of us get together we plow through the growing list of local places to visit first (25 and counting).
Will look further away as these get done and experience grows!

cane hill is more or less gone now, they tore it down in 2008-2010 and were planning to build houses on it, It was one of the first real "headline" urbex places that a lot of people heard about via the internet. There are some lovely pictures of it though still. Which ironically is all we have left now of most of it.

And many that you get on the related internet forums are just retards that use it as some bizarre weak form of rebellion, which in turn gives them some sort of ego about it. Granted, not everyone is like that - But a lot of people who are in to it are. They are the people I have an issue with, and Khaan seems like one of them judging from the set up and pose of that photograph.
Janesy B: A lot. Ive done a lot of urban exploring myself, although I refuse to call it that and its for a different reason. Don't think you know anything about me because I made some flippant insult on an internet forum, its pretty stupid.

Sorry Janesy but one should not have to sit there and watch their name get rubbished in such a way so just this once...
Yes because someone took one picture of myself and a friend and shot it using a certain pose and now we're automatically retards in your view and you find us laughable.
It's quite clear from my posts and my work that I or anyone I do shoots with am/are unlike anything remotely close to how you seem to portray but you're one of those people who turn a blind eye to anything that goes outside of your thought process.
The only tard here is yourself and that in itself is just sad unfortunately.
