Brett Patman of Lost Collective shares his pictures of abandoned spots in Australia.
(CNN) — Brett Patman never set out to be a photographer.
He began his working career as a tradesman, working inside some of Australia's factories, power stations and other industrial sites. But photography had always been his side passion.
"I bought my camera in 2011 and I didn't know what to do," Patman explains. "I was just starting out like taking photos of the skyline and the city and just standard postcard photos that everyone's seen a million times. I was just racking my brain a bit to think, 'What would be a bit more interesting than this?'"

Hundreds of Border Patrol officers are mobilizing to bolster the president’s crackdown on immigration in snowy Minneapolis, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday, as tensions between federal law enforcement and local counterparts flare after an ICE-involved shooting last week left a mother of three dead.
