One, long night. That's what it's been. Felt like weeks. The security cameras were turned off during the breakout, so the person who broke Lynns free has access, making him a guard. All of the guards on shift are being taken into questioning. Joker is currently under strict surveillance in Gotham General. Batman probably believes he's behind this, but I think he's just being paranoid. Don't blame him though. I have been too, as well as Dianna... She did not approve of my going to the Asylum. The first thing I get when I arrive at the apartment and into the bedroom is "Abe, thank god you're okay!" My heart goes to ease. Her relief overpowered her being pissed.
"Of course I am."
"How the hell could you do something so stupid?! Weren't you thinking of us?" Or not.
I start removing my suit, getting dressed for bed. "What does that mean?"
"That asylum is - is dangerous! You could have killed yourself! One of them could have eaten your face or something!"
"Dianna, I know what I'm doing."
"You didn't have to go!"
"No, I did. It is my job. I made an oath to protect Gotham. You know why? To protect you and Johnny. You two are why I do what I do."
"Abe..."
"No, I'm not finished. When a break out happens, I need to be there. I need to know it's under control. I need to know who has escaped. I need to protect you. And I will go to extremes you won't believe to do so."
"I'm- I'm just worried... About Pyg..."
She starts tearing up. "What if he finds us. What if he comes back?" She buries her face in her hands.
"The GCPD is on his trail. We're close to apprehending him. We have a few leads.. well, they have a few leads. I'm off the case." I sit down and wrap my arm around her shoulders.
"I'm tired of this Abe..."
"Me too..."
"I'm tired of living here."
"Look, I hate my parents' place more than you do."
"No, I mean Gotham. I hate it. I can't walk down the goddamn street without being afraid of getting mugged. There's a psycho everywhere you turn, an Arkham break out every week! I can't take it! I can't take this!"
"Dianna, we can't -- Pyg's about to be--"
"Abe, it's not about just Pyg. It's about the entire city. Once Pyg gets put away, another psychopath will threaten our lives."
"I understand what you're saying... but what about your law firm? The GCPD?"
"You can transfer... I can get a job somewhere else."
"I can't do this somewhere else. This is my city. This is where I belong, where I can help the most."
"Fuck, Abe, open your eyes. You're one man. You can't make a difference, not in this city... this hell."
"One man can most certainly make a difference."
"And he dresses up as a goddamned bat. The most powerful man in this city is a rodent! See the problem with that?"
"I - I see what you're saying. I agree. It'd be for the best..."
"Are you serious?"
"Of course"
"Abe, I love you."
"I love you too."
What the hell did I just do?
I don't know their profession, pest control is just my wild guess...

For these images I shot a roll of Fujifilm Superia 400 through my Pentax P3, then re spooled the film back into my Konica Pop.
The staged, Pentax shots were done to give a clear and focused background image, where as the candid Konica shots were done to add a sense of unorganised chaos to the top image.
Hard work is performed in the control room in an amazing abandoned steelworks in Austria. The place has thousands of interesting things to photograph. Maybe the most dirty place I have visited so far, but i enjoyed every second of being there.

These images were captured in an abandoned power plant in Italy. There is not much left of the plant which once generated up to 80 megawatts. However, the control room and a cooling tower are still in place.

The abandoned control room for Bethlehem Steel's massive lackawanna complex. The entire control system for the factory used analogue switches, dials, and buttons. When I visited the Beaux Arts jewel of Bethlehem Steel's 1901 Lackawanna Steel Factory, it was clear the demolition was imminent. The site had become somewhat of mecca for photographers and explorers. FIlled with labs, offices, and hidden rooms that contained stunning vintage pieces, from lamps to typewriters, to a complete control room filled with 1960s era computers. Now demolished, the factory holds an almost mythical place in my memory. As it closed in the late 1970s and early 80s, its interior fixtures and furnishing remained frozen in time. Time capsules are rare in my travels, in this was one of the most pristine. Bethlehem Steel's Buffalo administration headquarters was demolished in 2013.
In the early days the Dodge Brothers made parts for Ford cars, but Henry wanted more control, so the Dodge boys decided to make their own car.
Roughly 8.5 x 11 inches. I was thinking a bit about the work of Hooded Fang when I collaged in the guy working at the bank of machines that control our lives.

“Hortus Conclusus” Oficinas para el Consejo Consultivo de Castilla y León, C. Obispo Manso, 1 c/v Rúa de los Notarios y C. de las Infantas, Zamora
Arquitecto: Alberto Campo Baeza
Arquitectos colaboradores: Ignacio Aguirre López y Miguel Ciria Hernández con Pablo Fernández Lorenzo, Pablo Redondo Díez, Alfonso González Gaisán y Francisco Blanco Velasco Proyecto 2007 Construcción 2012. Promotor Consejería de Hacienda de la Junta de Castilla y León.
Se eligió una parcela situada frente a la catedral de Zamora para construir la sede del Consejo Consultivo de la Comunidad de Castilla y León. Del concurso convocado surgió como ganadora una propuesta que nace de la reflexión sobre cómo debe construirse hoy en un centro histórico. La decisión tomada es radical en su planteamiento: un muro horadado por escasos huecos rodea un jardín en el que se levanta una leve caja de vidrio.
Los autores nos conducen por el proyecto: Levantamos unos altos muros de piedra, de la misma piedra que la catedral de Zamora, siguiendo las trazas de las tapias del huerto del antiguo convento, y allí trabajamos como en una caja abierta al cielo con los muros y el suelo en piedra. Conseguimos así un jardín secreto en el que conservamos y plantamos árboles frondosos y plantas aromáticas, un verdadero Hortus Conclusus. En la esquina que mira a la Catedral, una piedra de 250 x 150 x 50, una verdadera Piedra Angular. El muro que rodea enteramente la parcela es tan alto como el edificio y se ha construido con una piedra que comparte sus despieces, su grosor y tonalidad con la catedral y el casco histórico. Los escasos huecos que lo atraviesan se han distribuido de manera estratégica para favorecer ciertas vistas desde el jardín.
Y en este verde jardín construimos una caja de cristal transparente que lo hace parecer como si uno está trabajando en el jardín. Dentro de la caja de piedra, una caja de vidrio, toda en vidrio, como si fuera un transparente. Con una fachada doble tipo Muro Trombe, la piel exterior se hace con vidrios extra-claros de una sola pieza de 600 x 300, unidos con silicona estructural, y puestas en vertical, de forma que ocupen toda la altura del edificio, como si estuviera todo hecho de aire. En los ángulos superiores de esta caja, aparecen los triedros completos de vidrio que hacen más visible si cabe la buscada transparencia, lo que Mies buscaba en su torre de la Friedrichstrasse. El triedro construido con aire, un verdadero Vidrio Angular. El vidrio es sencillo, sin cámara de aire, pues ésta se crea construyendo dos hojas separadas entre sí la distancia suficiente para permitir a una persona moverse por su interior. Esta cámara ancha funciona como un elemento climático activo que ofrece la posibilidad de manipular la temperatura, la humedad y la circulación del aire interior. Es capaz de guardar el calor en invierno haciendo uso del efecto invernadero y a la vez de expulsar el calor y proteger el edificio en verano gracias a la cámara ventilada. De esta forma la fachada es activa en términos climáticos y es a su vez totalmente transparente, para tratar de eliminar cualquier barrera entre interior y exterior.
El programa del edificio se adapta bien a esta organización, pues los consejeros del gobierno autonómico gozan de un espacio en calma para realizar sus labores y de la seguridad necesaria, que proporciona un estricto control de vistas y accesos. Los muros de piedra proporcionan esta seguridad y permiten plantear un edificio con la máxima transparencia en sus fachadas, de forma que los espacios interiores se abran al máximo a la caja-jardín. El muro perimetral transforma la parcela en una gran caja de paredes de piedra, cerrada a las vistas pero abierta al cielo, dentro de la cual la colocación de árboles crea un jardín introvertido dominado por un edificio de factura moderna.

I was driving from Jacksonville Florida to Lake City Florida when I came across a section of Pine forest that had recently undergone a controlled burn. I'm not sure I caught the image the way i wanted. I didn't have a tripod with me so you loose some detail in the pines in the background where i think the picture really is.
The Apollo Mission Control Center. This actually went operational for the later Gemini missions and was used for all Apollo missions. This was restored, but all the equipment is the orignal stuff. On the right is the Mission Director's position. The tube sitting on the table is a pneumatic tube (like they use in bank drive throughs), used to communicate with all the engineers downstairs. On the left you can see the speaker that played the audio feed from the astronaut's communications. Through this were heard the words such as "Houston, we have a problem" and "a giant leap for mankind". Note that there are no monitors or keyboards. Those were not invented when this was designed.
Here is a good example of how digital electronics has now taken over the operating systems of these facilities. They can monitor all the data relating to the radio telescope and monitoring signals from space, and require so much less space than the old analogue units. The efficiency gains are obvious, but they'll never look as good as the old school electronic equipment.
