Exploring the Ruins ...

In South Philly, Rebecca Bunting was a popular, tatted-up, 30-year-old bartender. 

But around the world, she was known as @_bword, for the persona she used to interact online with the global urban exploration community made up of photographers and thrill-seekers who trespass in abandoned spaces: Some enter these “bandos” for the sake of great photography, others do it for pure, unadulterated adrenaline.

And Bunting was one of the greats.

“She was the bando queen,” Carly Weiss, a friend and fellow urban explorer, said. “There’s no doubt about it.”
