New York is practically a brimming cesspit full of rat-infested abandoned shit. I guess New Yorkers are just so incredibly busy being brash, loud and eating enormous pizzas that they forget about the existence of buildings. Easy mistake. Very few people are aware of these places, apart from the select few that make their hidden living traipsing through hidden buildings. Today, VBS goes exploring with these people, architectural salvagers – people who seem to make a pretty good living reselling old lamps other such decrepit artifacts. Oh, and there's also some guy named Joe who calls himself a topophiliac. Basically, he just spends his weekends drifting through old buildings taking pictures of dilapidated things. "You've gotta keep your wits about you!" warns Joe in his ridiculously geeky accent. Head here to check it out now.
