 I
met Seth Thomas (aka "dev" or "devnull") a couple of years ago through
some urban exploration forums. Seth introduced me to the industrial
and (mostly abandoned) city of Gary, Indiana. When I came down to Gary
to check it out, Seth showed me around the city and welcomed me to
come back whenever I was heading to Chicago. Aside from being a
dedicated explorer, he was an amazing photographer.
His pictures
speak for themselves.
Over time, Seth became one of my close friends. We spoke on a daily
basis even though we should have been working. He just got 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 a tragic accident doing what he loved to do -
taking photos. Seth was an extraordinary and brilliant young man whose
life was taken too soon.
I'm sad to lose such a great friend but at the same time I'm
thankful that I was able to spend a few hours with him before he left
us. He was nothing but kind, generous and caring to me, qualities you
don't find in a lot of people. He truly loved exploration and
photography and he died doing what he loved to do. He will be missed.
