I stumbled upon Opacity's website many years ago. I find myself drawn to the photos - I feel like my reaction SHOULD be "this is garbage; this place should be torn down". But instead, my reaction is "Wow, this place is beautiful", and "This space should be preserved."
You can tell the photographer loves these sights. He takes the time to explore, to light the areas. The photographer tries to preserve the location and honor the history of the sites. Whenever I visit the website, I stay for at least an hour. I find the stories of the locations fascinating, and I'm drawn to the history.
I'd love to share these photos with students, but I'm wary - I don't want to end up promoting "breaking and entering", and I'd never want a student to have an accident while pursuing this activity.
