Lit., “Hauntingly Familiar”

Sep 25, 2011 15:18


Just stumbled on Andrew Moore's excellent photos of Detroit…these are a great example of how photos of real places in crisis can be artistic without being exploitative.  Kudos to Andrew for finding the beauty here without covering up the grotesque, and for facing the grotesque without letting it tell the whole story.

Or maybe I just like them because they're well-done and so many of them are familiar.  (The moss-covered floor, one of my favorites, is apparently Model T HQ.  There, I have not been.)
