Photography
Mostly focused in the Social Urban Decay which is the process of disintegration of a previously flourished functioning city (NYC), or part of a city that falls into disrepair and abandonment. It may feature de-industrialization, de-population or changing population, economic restructuring, unemployment, fragmented families, vacant lots and buildings, abandoned subway stations, condemned houses, crime, no maintenance, lack of maintenance, and a desolate inhospitable landscape. Since photography has become a primordial means of comunicating ideas, existing conditions, etc. here you will only find: Decay, Waste, Weeds & Wild vegetation (if you are looking for pretty flowers you shall leave this site). Book published with Blurb.
