    Words of caution on the flu from Seph Lawless

    There is no escape.. the flu is rampant in 50 states and officials have declared it the worst in a decade–perhaps longer–and the season is not peaking yet. More to come.
    More misery.
    And tragically more deaths to result as well.
    One of everyone’s favorite photographers just had a near tragic battle:
    FAMED DEAD MALL PHOTOG SEPH LAWLESS ALMOST DIED OF THE FLU! ! !

    LAWLESS TWEETED:

    Recently I had the flu. I ended up in the ER testing positive for the deadly H3N2. They tested my blood gas in artery said the virus was cuttin off oxygen to my organs and that’s why I felt like I was dying, made me stay for 24hr observation. I got the flu shot this year

    I was informed by doctors that I could of easily died within minutes if the virus eventually cut more oxygen off to my organs. They also said the CDC predicted the wrong strain this year and that the flu shot is only 10% effective this flu season

    It should be duly noted that I exhibited no flu-like symptoms and when asked how I felt I kept saying I felt like I was dying, like my body was shutting down, turns out it was so always trust your gut and go to ER especially during this deadly flu epidemic this year!

    ….trust your gut.

    SEPH LAWLESS showdown with DISNEY! PHOTOGRAPHER BANNED!

    The famed photographer who captured moments in time–dilapidated malls and properties showcasing the death of the once great American infrastructure–has hit a nerve with Disney.

     

    Last night Lawless posted this:

    So Disney is upset at me, but why do they get so upset anytime someone gets too close to the abandoned Discovery Island..

    What are you hiding Disney?

    Stay tuned for the strange and bizarre oddities of the Disney Conspiracy…

    Today the message was amplified with this posted Facebook message:

    Officially banned from Disney World for life, which is ironic because I already banned Disney from my life after they raised tickets prices…

    I couldn’t think of a better way to make a story go viral and bring attention to a growing public health catastrophe that killed an 11 year old child.

    What are you really hiding Disney?

    No corporation should be powerful enough to hide the truth and not clean up their mess.

    Stay tuned for the strange and bizarre oddities of the Disney Conspiracy

    The photos are showcased on Lawless’ many platforms online–and the UK DAILY MAIL .. The headline from the British paper:  The creepiest place on Earth? Inside the abandoned Disney World water park left to rot for 15 years after becoming one of only two that was ever shut down

    Some photos:

    Lawless wants to k now why Disney did not clean things up.

    They responded by issuing a ban on the photographer from entering..

  • Untitled post 13256

    The photo pictured here is of an abandoned theme park in Ohio. It’s haunting–it looks more like the scene of a horror flick.. But it’s real. It is also among many other strange abandoned structures across the world. Seph Lawless, an amazing photographer who has done the same thing with abandoned malls, is focusing attention on closed amusement parks.. His newest work is labeled BIZARRO.

    You can see examples of his work here.. But I really recommend you purchase his book–you can also peruse his site to look at some of the amazing empty malls he has photographed. (I personally think my local mall may be next.)

    I have been following Lawless for some time. He is an amazing artist who makes a point with his work. Often, he puts himself in dangerous situations to get the perfect shot.. He did that with his work on malls, and clearly now the same thing with abandoned amusement parks…

    Each photo represents a story–with that has laughter in the past with the smell of cotton candy in the air and the sound of organ music. Today lifelessness.. Sadness.. emptiness. Each photograph has a story, if not a multitude of tales under the stars of a warm summer night…..
