More life shots (by Kyle Thompson)
I’ve been having fun looking through old photos and picking ones I like for one reason or another. These are all from the past year.
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: is the guy you go exploring abandoned houses with your boyfriend?
Hahaaaaa no, I have gotten questions like this so much this past week, whats up with that? But I’m not dating any one.
Anonymous asked: So how do you find the places you photograph? Do you like find them on the internet or do you kind of just wander until you find one?
For things like forests/nature, tunnels, etc I just wander around and look for them.
For abandoned houses, I often drive through cornfields to find some, and other times look online, and at google maps and stuff like that.
For abandoned buildings I usually look online. I live near Gary Indiana, where half of the buildings are abandoned. I would never go in the abandoned houses there though because of squatters haha
667-1 asked: Hey Kyle, when you go to these abandoned places, do you normally just sneak in?
Yeah. I never break in though, I just go in if there’s an unlocked door, or an opening somewhere in the building/house. Not only is that better legal-wise if you get caught, but I would feel morally bad about breaking in anyways haha
Lifestyle photos (2011-2013) by Kyle Thompson
These arent the normal photos I upload, but I want to start posting some more candid shots. They are some from the last 2 years. I actually made an album of 15, but then I learned tumblr only allows a maximum of 10 photos. So Ill maybe upload more some other time.
(These obviously look much better when you flip through them in high quality)
Anonymous asked: hi i love your photography and i find it mad inspiring. i was wondering if i could maybe use some of your pictures as sources for paintings? id change it up but itd be pretty much inspired by your work. is that okay? i total understand if its not, though.
Yeah of course, and I’d love to see it when youre done! And that goes for any one, I love seeing other artwork based or inspired by my stuff
tacgnol asked: Hi! First off, your work is so incredible. You are very talented and I have no doubt you will become a household name in the photography world. Have you ever done or considered doing cinematography?
Oh thanks so much! And I have, if it warms up a bit, I will be shooting my first short film/music video in about 2 weeks!
