hey all you ruin lovers/enthusiasts out there! check out this guy.
kevin bauman's 100 abandoned houses is a documentation of detroit's dereliction. direct and depressing. [too much alliteration?] with what started as an exploration of his hometown, he has now turned it into an effort to revitalize this dying city; with the money he makes from selling prints of his photos he donates to charitable organizations such as habitat for humanity and the greening of detroit. for more info & eeeerie pics check out his website!
not to quote frou frou and be cheesy but there really is beauty in the breakdown.
in all seriousness though, it really makes you wonder. what happened to detroit?
toodles,
ronald.
