ABOUT SETH THOMAS

myspace | website | blog | photobucket

I met Seth Thomas (aka "dev" or "devnull") a couple of years ago through some exploration forums. We shared the same ideals, interests and lived in the midwest. Seth introduced me to the industrial and mostly abandoned city of Gary, Indiana. When I drove down to Gary to check it out, Seth showed me around the city and welcomed me to come back whenever I was heading that way. Aside from being a dedicated explorer, he was an amazing photographer. His pictures speak for themselves.

Over time, Seth became one of my closest friends. We spoke on a daily basis even though we probably should have been working. He had a new job in Chicago, was looking to buy a new car and finish up his degree in Mechanical Engineering.

On Saturday, September 23rd, and one day shy of his 24th birthday, Seth passed away in an accident doing what he loved to do - taking photos. Seth was an extraordinary and brilliant friend whose life was taken too soon.
