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:
Website: https://www.abandonedamerica.us/
Podcast: https://anchor.fm/abandonedamerica
4/ The Patreon is really what keeps this work going in a lot of senses, so if you're already there, thanks so much. If not, I post high quality, unwatermarked photos, have votes on what I do next, giveaways, ad-free write-ups and podcasts, you name it. Seriously, name it. I'll try to add it if I don't do it already.
The shop: you know, signed books, prints, cups, calendars, postcards, basically cool photo stuff. Gotta sell merch if you want to survive as an artist and aren't rich, I'm afraid.
6/ A few more odds and ends:
- Business inquiries: [email protected]
- Join my mailing list: https://us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=24ba303f6c1b17ce6e5f37d49&id=88f0dd85ff
- All work is mine unless otherwise noted. I'm not a photo bot!
- As such I do post my opinions from time to time. Feel free to disagree but "stick to photography" is an immediate block
- I do take suggestions but not submissions (sorry, I'm too overwhelmed as is)
- if you know of a good spot and have access, hit me up!
- I respect these places. Hope you will too
