'Urban Exploring' by Simon Christen is a collection of photos gathered from locations that seem right out of a post-apocalyptic movie or video game.
With hauntingly beautiful clarity, Christen captures some truly derelict and deserted locales that somehow conjure up sadness, mystery and hopelessness all at once. Because the pictures are so expertly composed and so compassionately shot, however, they are not overly depressing or morbid. 'Urban Exploring' by Simon Christen is a pensive and brilliant collection of photographs well worth experiencing.
