As a photographic genre I find 'urban exploring' to be quite interesting. Contrasts and contradictions often make for good photos, and I like photos of decaying buildings where there is evidence that the setting was once very grand. There's also a 'time capsule' sensation, which I enjoy. You see places that were the same as they were years ago without being touched. It's not something I do myself, but I did stumble across an old unused cinema some years ago and it was a good experience. I just saw some photos on the BBC website by a photographer called Christian Richter.

I enjoyed looking at the photos. My only criticism concerns some of the post-processing. For some reason I am very sensitive to HDR. I guess that non-photographers probably don't even notice, but whenever I see HDR photos they start to scream at me.
