Full Show Notes: https://bit.ly/33PSOPm
In this episode of Capturing the Abandoned, Lex and I had the honor and  pleasure of interviewing Mr. Brian Fuller (@bfullerfoto) who calls Las Vegas, Nevada his home, when he’s home. He has provided us with many wonderful Stories from small town USA from across the country and has offered us quite a different twist on our shadiest place question.
Mr. Fuller has several projects in the works, including plans to open a gallery in Nevada called the Storytellers Gallery and he currently has a crowdsourced art book in the works.  There will be a link to this project in the show notes.
In our visit with Brian, We were happy to learn a couple of new words which includes - Poetography which is what he is a process Brian is currently doing with many of his images, and storyokie which will be making its debut very soon.
We ask Brian our usual questions along with a few others, plus do you have a few people to mention for a shout out?  Of course he couldn’t list them all - @elizabeththorp,  @michaelmazephotography @derekace85 @sierra_winds @jill_koop

EP-18 Capturing The Abandoned With Brian Fuller

What a Treat! In this episode of Capturing the Abandoned, Lex and Vincent had the honor and pleasure to interview Miss Vivian MacKenzie from Russell, Manitoba Canada. @vivian_lee_mackenzie
Vivian grew up on the Manitoba Prairies where she has always had an appreciation for the backroads and open fields because that is where you could find her playing. She finds repurposing old things always comes  naturally to her, whether it was something found or something she bought at a thrift store.
As stated in her bio, Vivian’s photography is as much about her as an artist, mother, friend and human being as it is about her telling a story about the forgotten, lost, and abandoned. She continues to find herself over and over, as she travels the backroads, never knowing what she will find, but always knowing there is a story to tell.
We ask Miss Vivian our usual questions along with a few others.

An Interview with Vincent David Johnson of Lost Americana
Music Bed (Just Traveling) by Lex Nichols of Sand Creek Records - visit his website at https://lexnichols.com/
Welcome to Capturing the Abandoned, A foray into the world of rural and urban abandoned exploration!
Hello my name is Vincent Gearhart and along with my co-host Lex Nichols, I would like to welcome you to Episode 2 of Capturing the Abandoned.     
This podcast is for and about rural and urban abandoned explorers and you can find our Instagram feed at Capturing the Abandoned - @capturingtheabandoned - and on our Facebook Page by the same name. 
In this episode, we have an entertaining extended interview with our talented guest so we're just going to jump right into it. 
We are very excited to have an opportunity to interview Vincent David Johnson, a professional freelance photographer from Chicago and a fellow abandoned explorer that we have been following on Instagram for quite some time now. 
Vincent's pet project is called Lost Americana, and the following statement from his website pretty much sums up his mission - 
Lost Americana isn't about saving old buildings, or preserving a way of life.. It's about what happens when 30 million people leave. And the ruins they leave behind.
Wow! That's Powerful!
Vincent's First Post on Instagram as Lost Americana is a picture of a once beautiful old barn located in his home town of Joliet, IL.  This image was posted on July 1st, 2015 and after that first image kicked it off, he later Hit 10,000 followers in just a little over a year later on August 17, 2016 - He now has 13,400 plus followers.
You can find Vincent's Lost Americana on Instagram, facebook and on the website as Lost Americana.  From his scope of work, It is very apparent that Vincent is a talented and passionate photographer, and a man on a mission. 
And now, here is our interview with a fellow abandoned explorer, Mr. Vincent David Johnson!
