Photographs spanning the course of a decade exploring and documenting abandoned mining sites in both the United States and Europe. From remote mountain ranges to right underneath unsuspecting suburban streets, these are some of the most perilous yet fascinating man-made spaces, true time capsules untouched for decades.

DISCLAIMER: Abandoned mines are some of the most dangerous environments. The risk of imminent collapse, sudden unexpected drops, and fatally low oxygen levels are all very common. These visits were made with proper equipment, including air meters and safety lamps. Do not enter abandoned mines without proper training and gear; STAY OUT, STAY ALIVE.
