Abandon

Through the glass

 

I found myself a week ago, on the first floor of a three story building, surrounded by walls, a few pool tables, and a gigantic hole above my head showing me the sky above.  I was in an abandoned building, burned a few months ago, part of an old naval base.  It's amazing finding myself in these really different places, places where I would never have imagined existed or ever visiting, and getting quite an experience that I can't say is beneficial, harmful, or just plain useless except to satiate my desire to explore and learn.

I was afraid 70% of the time, and the rest of the time plainly numbed by the completely crazy places I was visiting, all my senses just overwhelmed to a point where none of it seemed real.  Here are a few tamer shots I've taken below.  If you are interested in all of the pictures from my group that went out, click here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/sfbasmareisland/interesting/

About Arthur Chang

Life
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and love to surround myself with friends and family. I'm a technology geek with an obsessive startup mentality, a photography nerd, and love to play sports (basketball, tennis, and more).

Startups
I am an entrepreneur with a background in software engineering. Most notably, I founded a company in 2009, Fanvibe.com, backed by investors including Y Combinator, which was acquired in 2011 by beRecruited.com. I am now the Lead of Product and Engineering (fancy title) of beRecruited.

Hacks
I graduated from UC Santa Barbara's College of Engineering with a B.S. in Computer Science in 2005. I've been developing and designing products in web and mobile platforms with large corporations and many of my own startups. I'm obsessed with disruptive apps, cutting edge tech, social game mechanics, social network development, software security, and all things code.

Photography
Photography is one of my biggest passions. Historically, it has been a hobby of capturing stories within still images. I photograph weddings, engagements, travel destinations, landscapes, various events, and many good cause events as a volunteer.

I shoot with a iPhone 4S and various Nikon SLR gear. I'm available to shoot events, weddings, and engagements. I am also always happy to volunteer my time to photograph good cause events.
