Capturing the Abandoned Episode 1
An Interview with Jackson Faulkner

Intro

Welcome to Capturing the Abandoned, A foray into the world of Rural and Urban Abandoned Exploration!

Hello my name is Vincent Gearhart and I want to welcome you to the first real episode of Capturing the Abandoned. Yes, this is Episode One! 

As mentioned in the introductory episode, this show in an extension of Colorado Abandoned, an art project, that was created by Lex Nichols and myself to explore, document and share our unique interpretation of rural and urban abandonment in Colorado through our photography. 

To Learn more about Colorado Abandoned, please visit the website at coloroadoabandoned.com.

With this show, we want to move beyond the confines of Colorado and expand the scope of rural and urban exploration to cover the United States and beyond, basically anywhere in the world where there are explorers that have a similar mindset as ours.

We are excited to kick off episode one with an interview with Jackson Faulkner, a fellow photographer, artist, and explorer that we have been following on Instagram for some time now. 

Jackson's images are loaded with vivid colors, extreme textures, and fresh, interesting perspectives. He is a very prolific poster to Instagram .

First post on Instagram was on Feb 15th 2016 - what a treat it was to travel through the history of his gallery to find his first post. 

There will be Links in the show notes to his website and Instagram gallery
