These Abandoned Photos From The Autopsy of America by Seph Lawless Will Send Chills Down Your Spine. Seph Lawless is a living legend among urban explorers delving into abandoned places. Seph runs afoul of the law on a regular basis, with frequent citations for trespassing, breaking and entering, and even vandalism of buildings that are lying abandoned, empty, decaying. Seph Lawless is not even himself. He operates under a pseudonym to hide his identity to keep legal actions at bay. His works have become a massive hit on social networks like Instagram and Facebook, with support from celebrities like Rihanna. Is Seph’s work, including his book “Autopsy of America” really acts of crime, or a study in the history and current state of our nation? Is it the work of an investigative reporter with intense curiosity, or a vagabond looking for adventure. Seph has been arrested over 50 times, but instead of seeking notoriety and fame, he prefers to be an unknown face. He tries to reduce the number of people who follow in his footsteps by being brutally honest about the dangers and issue they will face. An example of the dangers surface in 2013, when one of his supporters and imitators, Sarai Sierra, disappeared from view while exploring abandoned buildings in Istanbul, Turkey. Her body was found in February. She had been brutally stabbed to death as she was uploading images to Instagram. Seph considers his work more than a simple adventure. He goes out to explore the decay and desecration caused by our society and bring it to the surface. His photographs and words bring up emotional responses, including hatred and wrath. Seph’s work is interlaced with both his serious thoughts and his dark humor which verges on comedic mastery. What do you think of the works of Seph Lawless? Do you believe him to be a renegade or a crusader? No matter which side you fall on, you will be entranced by his photographic journeys into the underbelly of the world, and his Autopsy of America.                               35 Abandoned Places That Seem To Be Haunted With Beautiful Mystery 1.
