honestly urbex photo feels too dependent on the gimmick of having pix of "forbidden" places, to the detriment of actual technique and composition and so on.
le cool abandoned urbex pics end up being photos that people want to see solely because of the subject matter without any regard for their artistic merit, and the fact that a quick snapshit of le spooky abandoned morgue has the same level of appeal as a carefully lighted image that took an hour to put together makes artistic laziness not only appealing but more sensible than the alternative.
that said i have done a lot of exploration of abandoned places in my day, i just dont have pictures. im from new orleans so half the fucking city was abandoned for years after katrina, and if you were willing to hop some fences it was easy as shit to stumble across one building after another that had been hastily abandoned and left untouched since aug 2005. it was like there were huge time capsules on every corner.
here's an example of a building that as of 2009-2010 was still exactly as it had been in 2005, including aug 2005 calendars on the wall and national guard spraypaint on the walls marking how many were dead and wounded in each wing of the hospital:
