Jon Haeber first picked up photography at the age of 16. His work has appeared in CollegeBound Magazine, National Geographic News, the Daily Californian, Amsterdam-based TED, and a high school Civics textbook. Inspired partly by his senior thesis for a Landscape Architecture course on the history of miniature golf, he's embarked on a project to catalogue abandoned structures across the West Coast.

Testimonials (5)

SW Walsh says:
"Jon has to be the most intrepid photographer I've met. He literally goes places where no one has gone before--at least not without authorization. The locations and images, though, are only part of why I appreciate Jon's work. His extensive research, as showcased in his blog, enlivens the abandoned locations he prefers, and helps place them in historical context."

"TunnelBug and I first met through flickrMail. And before we knew it, we bumped into each other on an exploration trip, by complete accident. He is not only a great photographer but definitively one of the friendliest explorer you will ever meet.
We had a great time exploring that day and I was fortunate enough to join him on some other trips. He knows tons about UE and I learned a lot from him. Thanks and keep up the good work!"7th September, 2007

Lost America says:
"One of the most active urban explorers on the west coast, a great shooter and all around good guy. The way he works access to places, he might actually be Spiderman . . ."

"I've gone shooting more than once with Jon now and his photography speaks volumes about his artistic abilities with a camera. His large format work is simply stunning. Jon's ability to document the lost and forgotten past of our society through his cameras and blog has kept me inspired to follow in his footsteps. A true mentor of mine."
