"The funniest thing to happen was when I went to an abandoned warehouse intending to do some art. Alone in the building, I decided it was a perfect opportunity to pull out the camera and shoot myself. I was really getting into it so I didn't see or hear this random dude enter the building. The battery died on the camera so I stopped the shoot and just laid there on the floor with all these ideas in my head. The next minute I heard some footsteps and a gasp and I turned my head to greet a stranger with a camera. There wasn't much else I could do but strike up a conversation with the red faced dude as I walked to the other side of the building to grab my clothes and pack up. Turns out he was an urban explorer photographer with a penchant for abandoned buildings and graffiti. He told me he had always wanted to come into the building and shoot it but had been afraid until today when he finally worked up the courage. I was friendly and tried to make him feel comfortable about the awkward situation. I told him what had happened and suggested he take some photos of me in the building. We had a great photo shoot, he's an amazing photographer and I'm planning on doing a shoot with him in the future. Strange how the world works."
