Photography

edit

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 communicating 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.

NEW YORK MODERN in reverse.

Organic Mutant Architecture.

There once was a place of monumental cities with towers that swept American culture… people were swept away and consumed by the machines and buildings built by visionaries and is now self-transforming or mutating into a fantastic Organic Mutant Architecture Metropolis; it draws them into the depths. ...NYC for the rest of us...is a crumbling city...inhabitants of this city believe that this is the center of the world...it's dark, it's decaying...mice, rats, big rats, roaches emerge from everywhere as we hear the roar of the engines, jack hammers...speeding cars, taxis, bikes, bikers, trucks, vans, ambulances, police, people, helicopters... see more
