Due to the latest evolution in urban exploration photography, as a trend, and the fact that a lot of newbies in this type of photography only seem to be interested in copying the work of other photographers, I have decided to close the Decay Gallery. This gallery is now password protected and only members have access to the pictures of the latest locations visited. I hope this will encourage some photographers to be creative and to develop their own style instead of doing plagiarism of other photographers work. I would like to thank all the people that have contacted me recently after my last post on this subject matter. I really appreciated your feedback and as a compromise of all suggestions you have made, I have chosen to limit the access to the whole gallery only to registered members. I am not sure yet if I'll post updates here on the frontpage and the members will have to log in to the system to see the pictures and the description or if I send a newsletter regularly. Every membership request from people I do not know personally has to be fulfilled over the contact form with a link to their photography. Thanks a lot for your comprehension and I hope you'll continue to enjoy the pictures I'll post regularly. Set as favorite Bookmark Email this Comments (4)  Dr. Baab said: |

| ... Fully understandeable, but, on the other hand ... I always enjoyed looking at the pictures ! It's a pity you decided to limit access to the galleries to registered members only. (I could not become a registerd member for example - we never met before, I do not have a webpage, and I do a urban photography)  |

| Plagiarism is annoying I understand that you, as an experienced urbexer, password protect your gallery. I am a beginner, but would never plagiarized anyone. I am a very experienced photographer and are, as in other genres I have already mastered, keen to find my own style within the UE. Keep up the good work! |
