Back To Balfour
The Balfour Mill has shown up on the Abandoned Dreams sites many times in the past. I've literally watched this buildings downfall over the years. It used to be a completely stocked building, with many also stocked sublet shops. Now, it's more or less an empty shell, finally beginning to fall in on itself after many harsh winters. Floors are collapsing, walls are falling, and she's still beautiful to me.

Great Race Champions
The Deggi5 Great Race has once again come and past. Once again, Abandoned Dreams competed, and this year, we brought home the gold.
I'd like to start this post off with this photo. During the week leading up to the race Clahhhkie backed out on us with no excuse. We then recruited Turrel. The night before the race, he too bailed. ClimbingDoug was still nowhere to be found by race time, and unheard of until after we'd finished the race. We made this photo for them.
And now for some highlights from the Great Race 2011 for Team: Fuck You, It's Art.
At least half of your team's names in Spanish on sign. My name is the same in English and Spanish!
Team with 10 cameras.
Full frontal naked.
Make clothes out of non-clothing items found and wear only that.
Any ticket, summons, or citation from the event.
Team member on a rooftop.
Find a dead animal.
Riding a bike.
In a drain.
Two sets of train tracks, side by side.
Moon the camera.
Mustard in shoes.
Crammed in a small space.
Team members name on a professionally made sign.
Deggi sticker.
'D' and '5' next to each other.
Building permit or inspection sticker.
Wrapped up like a mummy.
80's Apple computers.
With police line or caution tape.
On public transportation.
On a land-locked or abandoned boat.
With tank/cannon or artillery.
Any cell with bars.
On an abandoned bridge.
In a McDonalds with urbex gear.
With a no trespassing sign.
Wishing Mike Dijital a happy birthday. Actually, we smoked a joint for him.
With a life-sized human dummy made from stuff found.
With a blueprint or floor plan.
With a pre-existing graffiti penis.
With a sign that says Not This Year FalloutUE.
Team laughing.
I left out a few photos for personal reasons.
