Based out of Richmond VA, urban explorer Joel Handwerk of Lithium Photo was seemingly fated to rediscover the ruins of a former hotel perched upon the shore of Chesapeake Bay. Though Handwerk was initially disappointed to find the hotel had been demolished mere weeks before, a little persistence on his part soon revealed a far greater reward.
In much the same manner as an antique auto buff unexpectedly coming across a rare classic car stowed away in an old barn, Handwerk made his way to the back of the property where he found the greatly deteriorated yet otherwise unmolested hotel swimming pool.
