So I finally get to cross off an item on my photography bucket list and I have a dating website to thank for it! A couple of weeks ago a random girl messaged me on OK Cupid, asking where I would go if I randomly left the house to take some photos, and a few messages, a couple of phone calls and a lunch date followed by an awesome photo adventure later, a new friendship was born! It turns out that she loves photographing "Ruin Porn" as she calls it, and took (kidnapped) me to an abandoned hospital in Lakeview Massachusetts. It was formerly known as Lakeview Sanitarium, opening in 1910 and closing in 1992. We had a blast sneaking onto the grounds and got lucky with finding a crawl space to get inside. I could have spent the entire day photographing this place but the light was fading fast and we were without flashlights. Needless to say, I want more! I have a feeling we will be having some more adventures soon. Enjoy the photos!

Linden Grenier - Hi, I would like to visit this place in the near future and was wondering if you have any further information on it... is it still intact? Accessible? Is it extremely dangerous/ asbestos ridden? I would like to know if and when it will be demolished if you know anything about it's standing. Please, please let me know asap, I NEED to visit.
