A youth spent in building sites and abandoned lots led to a life long exploration of industrial ruins, meeting many interesting occupants.

On a field trip to Melbourne, Australia, we scoured the post industrial fringes of the city.

Living at the old Carlton brewery, I met a man who had left his home and family. They did not know his whereabouts.

He asked me to post a photograph to his wife.

A war veteran also requested his portrait.
