Joy of the Mundane

I just heard the news on and realized that the person who drowned in the river today was someone I knew of, but did not know personally. He was exploring a drain tunnel and got swept into the river, his friend was saved but he was not. His name was Ian Talty and he was just 30 years old he went by Joy of the Mundane on flickr. I always loved looking at his photos, he liked graffiti he always found the coolest places to photograph.
I was so shocked when I realized that the story I was hearing about on the news today was someone I knew. I don't know what to think.
Yesterday I found this abandoned building and emailed him to let him know about the graffiti that was there. Im posting one of them.

Rest in Peace, Ian
