Lykins Films Documenting the abandoned & forgotten before it’s gone. Welcome to my urban exploration (urbex) photography page! Thank you for visiting.

Urban exploration is the act of exploring abandoned or off-limits areas, typically for the purpose of documentation and photography. It's a unique and thrilling way to discover hidden corners of our cities and the stories they hold. As a photographer, I have always been drawn to capturing the beauty and mystery of these forgotten spaces. Whether it's an old factory, a abandoned hospital, or a deco

Natchez State Park CampingI started the weekend at Natchez State Park on Friday night. Humid and warm, but not bad once I was under the trees.

The journey to the A.K. Shaifer House, the site of the first skirmish of the Battle of Port Gibson, was as challenging as it was rewarding. I drove along a narrow dirt road, teetering on the edge of a kudzu-filled canyon, only to find a locked gate. After rerouting, I encountered a rickety bridge over Buck Creek, which I decided not to cross by Jeep. Instead, I parked, packed some water, and began a picturesque hike.
