Exploring abandoned and other interesting locations in Chicagoland, from Rockford to Gary, Chicago to Harvey and all points in-between. This is a group for photographers of all levels to explore and shoot these interesting and picturesque locations.

We're not just about abandoned buildings - we're about photography first, and exploration second. So the goal is to balance our meetups between abandoned locations and other sites. Often we hold meetups with multiple locations with a mix of both.

If you're interested in improving your photo skills, meeting new people, and participating in some great outings - join us!

Be sure to check out our "self guided" tours - it's a new project and we're slowly adding to it. Cool places you can go and shoot you may not have known about! It's in the Meetup Forum!

Also, be sure to join our Facebook page! We post daily updates, and it's where members meet!
