Greenpoint Terminal Warehouses: May 2 2006

On the night of May 2nd, close to 24 hours after the fire had started, the flames were still burning and the smoke was still thick.



Greenpoint Terminal Warehouses: After the Fire

These photos were taken late in the day on May 2nd 2006, the day that the heart and Soul of GTW burned.



Greenpoint Terminal Warehouses: Ra’s Lair

Ra is the international man of mystery that made GTW his home.



Greenpoint Terminal Warehouses: Santa Attacks.

The Sick Santa Explorathon (SSE) was a rather ridiculous Santacon-afterparty held in 2003.



Greenpoint Terminal Market: The Night Raid

The Eagle: Former Eagle Electric Factory

Hitting the moving targets…



Waterside Generating Station, Manhattan, NYC

A first look into one of the largest power plant ever to be abandoned in NYC



Hell Gate Bridge
