DETROIT, MICHIGAN: A COMBAT veteran used his army skills to penetrate a hospital so decrepit it has even been abandoned by local gangs. Pictures show how this 1960’s building which was once a celebrated community hospital is partially submerged in brown icy water, has doors riddled with bullet holes and is covered in aggressive graffiti which read “Bang, bang”, “You’re next” and “Don’t open dead inside”. US army soldier-turned photojournalist Robert Johnson (40) braved the potentially criminal infested South West Detroit Hospital to take the extraordinary shots.
