From the Author

"It is a bit disconcerting at times to roam a place, simply with an eye for decay and abandonment, and at times, my friends would ask me, "Isn't it a bit depressing to focus on this subject?" Yet what I learned is that abandonment has its own form of beauty. It has its own form of integrity that offers a moment of introspection. To stand in front of the remains of a church, a train station, or hospital is to conjure up image of the lives of the people who created, cared for, and lived within their walls. It provides a metaphor for the cycle of life."
