Republic Steel Warren Works
Warren, O.
The last blast furnace in the Steel Valley @ RG Steel - WCI - Republic Steel on Main Ave in Warren. Its idle now and they will probably scrap the whole mill before they restart it. My cousin that worked out there said the furnace was on its last leg, and the company that bought it is an industrial scrapping company. Think this was the biggest blast furnace in America when it was built by the Wm Pollock Company of Youngstown, O. End of an era
Truscon Steel Company
Youngstown, O.
Bunch of detail shots from the old Avanti plant on Albert Street they tore down recently. A lot of car parts, signs and the old moulds for the fiberglass car bodies. This was a Republic Steel plant, the Truscon division, where they made steel trusses. The Avanti was a Studebaker they built in the 60s that other companies built when the company folded. The Cafaro’s bought the company, moved the production to the old Republic mill in Youngstown. The whole mill complex is demolished and they make the Avantis in Mexico now.

New York, NY
Went to NY like 2 days after hurricane Sandy, didnt shoot too much cause I didnt want to look like the dickhead tourist taking smapsots of peoples misery. Plus the Housing Authority kept us busy running food and water. The one photo is the merry go round from Idora Park in scenic Youngstown Ohio (that floodded durng the storm) with the BK Bridge and Trade Center in the background.
Columbus Hospital for the Insane
Columbus, O.
Went to these cemeteries that were behind what was the Columbus Hospital for the Insane. They were used to bury patients from that facility, and prisoners from the old State Prison in downtown Columbus. The headstones that say unknown are supposedly mass graves full of victims from a huge prison fire. Some are just marked with M or F and a prisoner number. The state obviously knew these peoples names, as they have their inmate numbers, but couldn’t give them the respect of marking their graves with their names. If that isnt fucked up enough, look at the headstone that just says SPECIMENS. WHAT THE FUCK DOES A MENTAL HOSPITAL NEED HUMAN SPECIMENS FOR. I can only imagine what the people who are buried here went through. What a sad place.

We shot up to Geneva just cause we needed more waves.. there was some classic car cruise, complete with police escort that we weaseled our way into so we hit that strip like Obama’s motorcade.. found a beach and posted up.. I got some of the best photos of my life.
