Abandoned AmericaDec 20, 2022

1/ Here's a quick introduction: nice to meet you! I'm Matthew Christopher, creator of the Abandoned America website, book series, podcast, and ice cream flavor (sold poorly, discontinued). I photograph abandoned spaces and write about their stories - I'm interested in actual #history, not ghost stories. Here are my links if you're interested in more of my work:

@AbandonedAmerica very neat! Two questions: first, what’s your go-to camera and lens setup? Second, do you take requests for places to visit?

@semioticstandard thank you! To answer your questions: currently a Sony A7R4 and a 12-24 mm lens, I'm a wide angle guy. And I love suggestions. I'm limited by time and budget but especially if you have an in to a place I'll try to get there

@AbandonedAmerica thanks! I got myself an EOS R7 for Christmas that I’m dying to get to, so really enjoying the particulars of how other photographers compose their shots.

What part of the country are you in? I assume requests close to home are easier to grant

@semioticstandard oh congrats, that's a great camera, I wish you many happy photos with it. I'm in the US, used to travel abroad pre-covid but working myself back up to it financially 😊
