Got up at dawn (fuck!) to check out this under-demolition apartment building.

The huge gaps in the security fence made it irresistible.

I was taking this photo when some unseen person started calling "Hello."

You can just see the security guard's truck's license plate in the darkness.

I guess this guy is of the "wait till they trespass and then pounce on them" school rather than the "make yourself visible to dissuade them from trespassing" school.

We had a pleasant chat. He was a bit puzzled by a "photography student" wearing a hardhat and reflective vest, but told me to come back at 7:30 and talk to the guy in charge about getting permission to take some more photos. I thanked him and agreed, knowing in my heart of hearts that I was going back to bed.
