Untitled by Nicholas Scarpinato and Kyle Thompson
Nick and I collaborated on this on Sunday. The sun was setting so we climbed on top of a big wood chip pile and jumped around and danced and kicked wood chips everywhere.
I'm Kyle, I'm 21, I'm from the Chicago area, and I like taking photos in abandoned houses and forests. This blog is all original content. A lot of the shots are self portraits. If you have any questions, comments, etc, I'd love to hear from you!

Anonymous asked: i would just like to ask, why do you post pictures that you have posted already before? i was just curious. you can absolutely ignore my question though.
I never repost single images by themselves (at least I dont think I do! If I did let me know) But sometimes ill put together a series of images and include some old work if it fits in with the common theme.
Anonymous asked: This has probably been asked before, but why is it that the majority of your photos don't have titles? :)
I worry that titling work cements it into only my interpretation. My work means something to me, but it won’t necesarily mean the same to some one else. Especially for work that is very specific and personal. I think leaving work untitled adds to the mystery. It makes the image more ambiguous and allows you to freely interpret it as you would like.
“Untitled” 2013
Collaboration between Kyle Thompson and Nicholas Scarpinato, in an effort to combine two common themes in our work.
I stayed in Richmond with Nick Scarpinato this past week and yesterday we worked on this together
I’ve been busy, filming a documentary about the extremely talented Kyle Thompson. The full film will screen at FSU in the Fall.
It was such a pleasure getting to shoot with Kyle. I can’t wait to see what he thinks of the final version.
Check out the preview for a short documentary on me!
All shot in camera with a technique I thought up
by Kyle Thompson
I spent a night in Pittsburgh with Nicole and we were under the turnpike taking photos. We climbed up a hill right next to the freeway and over a rusty fence and found an abandoned house that you couldn’t see from the road. I was just experimenting by shooting through glass and catching reflections, but thought they looked interesting enough to post.
agosolvo asked: Do you invest a lot of money into your props? I notice your props are pretty hard to get a hold of...old tv's, skeletons, etc...
Nope, pretty much everything is found for free or from thrift stores. The old TVs I found in an abandoned house, and the deer skeleton I found in a field
