Hello my name is John Paskell and I'm a senior attending Hilliard Davidson High School. I am 18 years old and I love going to these abandoned places as a hobby. I also am a photographer and most of these pictures on this website were taken by me, not the older photos of course. (If you would like to check out more of my photos they are on my instagram @thepaskellproject) I plan on attending Columbus State for the next two years then I plan on transferring to Ohio University to maybe study Geology. I feel like I am not going to stop adventuring these old relics anytime soon, it's such a unique experience and hopefully I can turn this hobby of mine into a job I can pursue in the future.
About Cory Robinson
Hi there my name is Cory Robinson and like John I am also a senior at Hilliard Davidson High School. I'm 17 and this is only my 1st year of exploring abandoned places and I can already tell you this is a new found hobby. I always used to see places like the ones we go to either through other people's pictures or just driving by them and I always remember asking myself what had happened to these places and what were they before they came to ruin. So as soon as John invited me to go with him I jump at the chance wanting to understand how these old came to be how they have faired against the withering of time. I plan to attend Sante Fe community college in Gainesville Florida to start my study in Genetics and then transferring to University of Florida after 2 years. I don't believe that I will stop exploring these places anytime soon even when I move. In fact I'll probably do it more often because Florida has a wide variety of places just like these all over. All though these explorations might not be the most helpful in my future they will always be a newfound hobby of mine.
