urbanlens – photography for the abandoned

I love photography that jolts you subconsciously. Urban exploration is a unique genre, in that it exposes the long discarded underbelly of urban America. Horror movies, the more frightening ones, take place in empty asylums and decaying schools. And urbanlens.com is the absolute best site i’ve ever come across – the photography is lush with textural detail, the navigation purely focused on the exhibitions and subject matter. The mood is gritty and inquisitive, with humorous introductions to each photo gallery.

Urbanlens.com changes the perspective of living in modern urban America. The underground, the infrastructure and the continuous deconstruction of the city aging is brilliantly chronicled here, as well as abandoned outer destinations, including the Pennsylvania State Hospital for the criminally insane. The photographers at urbanlens.com take the viewer deep into the open wounds of post industrial superstructure.
