Urban explorers test the limits of what the word “trespassing” means. Explorer and photographer Bradley Garrett could go to jail for some of the things he does to sneak into places that aren”t for the public”s eyes… but that never stops him from having an adventure. Just look at the collection of images he has taken over the years from his exploring. This is awesome. These are all from Bradley”s awesome book called Explore Everything.
