Do Not Do What Frank Does
Never go into an abandoned mine. Abandoned mines are dangerous: bad air that gives no warning, rotten timber, hidden shafts under loose ground, rock that fails without a sound. Frank has years of experience and proper rope equipment, and it is still dangerous work. The films are the way in.
And one rule as firm as the first: these places, and everything left in them, are history. Take nothing, damage nothing, leave every site exactly as you found it.
That’s the whole deal. Frank picks one photograph out of the archive, tells you the story of the day it was taken, and signs off until next month. A short P.S. points to whatever’s new — films and mine pages — and that’s it.
