Finding Life (and New Friends) in Abandoned Places

For explorer Leslie Muir, every abandoned building has a backstory waiting to be told through photographs. One day, while exploring what she thought was an abandoned house, she met Lawrence, the home’s lone resident. Alone and in poor health, Lawrence needed medical attention. Instead of turning away, Muir got Lawrence the care he needed and the two have since become close friends.

A great big story made in partnership with LensCrafters.
