I
met Seth Thomas (aka "dev" or "devnull") a couple of years ago through
some urban exploration forums. We both shared the same ideals, interests and lived in the (boring) midwest.
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 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 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 will be missed.
