Donald Pimental is a mental health therapist whose lifelong fascination with forgotten places fuels his work as a photographer and urban explorer. Introduced to abandoned buildings as a child, he rediscovered the hobby during the COVID-19 pandemic and set a personal goal of visiting abandoned sites in all fifty states as a way of confronting a long-held fear of flying. His photography highlights the quiet beauty found where nature and decay meet, revealing stories hidden in overlooked spaces. When not traveling or documenting ruins, Donald enjoys spending time with his wife, their dog, and two tortoiseshell cats.
