<p>Lex and Vincent had the pleasure of interviewing Martin Hogan of Grand Rapids Michigan. Martin’s passion for the abandoned photography started way back when traveling the backroads of Michigan in his youth with his mother and while riding in the school bus to and from school.</p> <p>Martin currently shoots with a Canon 5D and uses a couple of prime lenses and is an avid and proficient user of Adobe Lightroom and photoshop. Martin has amassed an enormous collection of amazing images over the years over on Flickr - the link is down below to his site there. Martin’s handle on instagram is <a href="https://www.instagram.com/niquitaspirit/"><strong>@niquitaspirit</strong></a> whose name comes from his first two dogs Niquita and Spirit.</p> <p>We ask Martin our usual questions along with a few others.<br> Do You have a few people to mention for a shout out? -<strong> @fistfulofpowder @samasyava @jill_koop @sierra_winds @history_rambler @kirkbride.girl @ruralrevivals @_bozlo_ @exploring_the_void @rcj82 @teleglamsam &amp; @rnld.jansen</strong></p> <p><strong>Mentioned:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Martin’s Flickr Feed - <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/smartee_martee/albums"><u>https://www.flickr.com/photos/smartee_martee/albums</u></a><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/smartee_martee/albums"><u><br> </u></a></li> <li>Enjoy the Music of Lex Nichols -<a href="https://lexnichols.com/home"> </a><a href="https://lexnichols.com/home"><u><strong>https://lexnichols.com/home</strong></u></a><a href="https://lexnichols.com/home"><u><strong><br> </strong></u></a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Martin’s Contact Info:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Martin"s Complete Bio and Questions Answered &nbsp;<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GeAB_1dkyCU0cP6sC6vlVgktpvmCzIAogk99VO4num4/edit?usp=sharing"><u>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GeAB_1dkyCU0cP6sC6vlVgktpvmCzIAogk99VO4num4/edit?usp=sharing</u></a><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GeAB_1dkyCU0cP6sC6vlVgktpvmCzIAogk99VO4num4/edit?usp=sharing"><u><br> </u></a></li> <li>Best way to reach Martin -<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/niquitaspirit/">@niquitaspirit</a> via messages on Instagram<br> </li> </ul> <h2><strong>Follow our Podcast</strong></h2> <ul> <li>You should be able to find this podcast wherever podcasts are served, including – <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/capturing-the-abandoned/id1451018347?mt=2&amp;uo=4">Apple podcasts</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0woRStXY006grkilDz44Br">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy84YTYyNmE4L3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz">Google podcasts</a>, <a href="https://anchor.fm/vince-gearhart">Anchor</a>, and more.
