Untapped Cities columnist Will Ellis, author of the book Abandoned NYC and founder of the website of the same name, will be giving a talk and workshop at the Apple Store inside Grand Central Terminal tomorrow evening at 7pm. He’ll share his experiences documenting the abandoned spaces of New York City, focusing particularly on the city’s asylums just in town for Halloween (and even a paranormal experience he had in New England) and share tips about how to photograph these places on Apple devices. Here’s a sneak preview of the images you’ll see on this talk:
