Since the 1980s, I’ve been captivated by the stories behind out-of-business and abandoned places, pausing on my journeys to capture them through photography.
In 2014, I launched Bill’s Journey to bring compelling images and stories to a wider audience, inviting readers to explore forgotten corners of the world with me.
In 2025, I embarked on an ambitious project to breathe new life into my old pre-digital slides and photographs, scanning and documenting the stories behind the images. Every pre-2004 photograph has been faithfully digitized to preserve and share its unique history.
Today, you can explore posts featuring out-of-business and abandoned locations. Most are scattered across the U.S., but my travels abroad have also uncovered fascinating places and tales worth discovering.
