Abandoned buildings attract a wide variety of people: heroin addicts, the homeless, architects, film students, etc. Their future usually involves demolition or conversion into a luxury condo, and some abandoned luxury condos have become home to heroin addicts as well. I’ll never be able to call the condos attractive, but New York is littered with some beautiful buildings that are occupied by nothing but pigeons, rats and empty laundry soap containers. Nathan Kensinger is a photographer who has photographed tons of abandoned buildings in NYC, like an boarded up train station in Inwood and a popular mob burial ground in East New York. If you’re not one to break into buildings, go to Pete’s Candy Store tonight. Kensinger’s showing his photos of dead buildings around the city.
