The lure of abandoned places

Recommended Posts

When I stumbled upon this photo essay of a deserted Japanese island it reminded me of how this type of photography fascinates me.  I wonder who once inhabited them. They'll always capture my imagination. Since there's so many great photographers on this board I figured I'd share some links.

One of my areas of interest, I have a category "urban decay" in my blog.

Ruins photography, sometimes called ruin porn,[1] is a recent movement in photography that takes the decline of the built-environment (cities, buildings, infrastructure) as its subject.
