RUST

IS NOT

A CRIME

EXPLORATION, DISCOVERY , AND THE NOT a Crime is a

BEAUTY OF ABANDONED PLACES

Rust is
collection of photos from
all over the world showcasing
our love for rust. We don't care
where the rust is found, our goal is
just to share it with you. I have a very
good team that is dedicated to bringing
the best cars, buildings, toys, planes,
boats and whatever else we can
fi nd that has our favorite element
associated with it. We hope you
enjoy this as much as we do
and thanks for
reading.

'You need to tie this into rat rod culture' says
Steve. How does one tie in urban exploring
into rat rod culture? Let's go for a ride and
fi nd out.
Going through the images that I’ve taken
myself and that Duke Newport contributed I
notice a lot of similar trends between these
old buildings and the vehicles we all love.
Cars that were forgotten in a fi eld or a barn
will take on characteristics of the place
that they came from. That 'perfect patina'
typically is caused from perfect conditions.
