Hardcover. Condition: As New. Joo, Johnny (illustrator). 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING, 2021. LIMITED TO 150 COPIES THIS COPY IS NUMBERED 38/150 AND SIGNED BY JOHNNY JOO ON THE FRONT FREE END PAPER. BOOK ISSUED WITHOUT DUST JACKET AND IS IN PRISTINE AS NEW CONDTION. A 300-page book showcasing photographs from all throughout Johnny Joo's portfolio - abandoned, nature and somewhere in between, where nature has begun to take back what we have left behind. The book acts as a dual book, where it can be opened from either side - one side (Flourish) showcasing mainly nature and landscape images, while the other side (Wither) showcasing images of abandoned places, eventually progressing to a meeting point where all becomes overgrown, eventually fading back into nature. This is a breathtaking collection. Johnny Joo, through Odd World Studios, has established himself as an up and coming photographer who understands light and composition and chooses a subject matter that is simply fascinating. THIS BOOK IS PRIVATELY PRINTED IN ROCHESTER, NEW YORK. THIS IS ONE TO HOLD ON TO AND DEFINTELY A COLLECTORS DREAM. ISBN 978-0-9981016-5-1. Hospitals, schools, churches, theaters, hotels, homes, industry, bridges, diners, malls, amusement parks and more. Ohio holds a huge collection of history that continues to fade away. Eventually all that will be left of many of these places are the photographs and memories. Ohio has so much incredible history that has been saved, but at the same time so much history that remains throughout these abandoned places, practically forgotten. I find it sad and fascinating that these places are tossed aside like they are. Though they have been forgotten, there is such an interesting beauty inside their walls, decay and all. Factories such as the former Westinghouse, one of the most important in the history of the industrial revolution. George Westinghouse was also a pioneer of the electrical industry, gaining his first patent at the age of 19. His company had even employed Nikola Tesla. A former Westinghouse factory remains abandoned in Cleveland falling to pieces. The former Paisley Farms pickle jarring factory (shown on the cover) was abandoned for years and had become wildly overgrown before eventually being demolished. These photos hold its stories of years of abandonment. Once the largest mall in America, Randall Park Mall once sat on land now occupied by an Amazon distribution center. The mall had sat crumbling for years, and in this book you will find photos and history of the rise and fall of the massive shopping center. A church built in 1903, abandoned for 27 years nearly untouched. Fanny's Diner in the village of Collinwood. A former home-style 1950s diner, demolished in 2018. The industrial powerhouses that Ohio had become home to were some of the most important in history, and so many now sit abandoned, while some have been demolished. Companies that offered so much during World War II, rusting and rotting away. Cleveland was even home to the company that created the devices to monitor the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests (the tests that brought much of the story of Spongebob Squarepants to life) Among these, this book contains photos and history of numerous other locations, some that will be reserved specifically for this series of books.

THIS BOOK IS PRIVATELY PRINTED AND NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE. THE FIRST PRINTING SOLD OUT IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS ONE TO HOLD ON TO AND DEFINTELY A COLLECTORS DREAM. ISBN 978-0-9981016-6-8. This release is part 2 of 3 in a series of books focusing on abandoned locations within the state of Ohio. Bound in hardcover, printed on the highest quality paper, filled with photos and intriguing tales; this book is one that grabs hold of you and draws you deeper into this fascinating subject. In this edition, the subject matter has been focused on the many abandoned homes across the state of Ohio. In that mix you'll find everything from charming, rustic farm homes in the countryside, to large mansions and smaller homes in suburban towns and cities. There was a point where people turned these houses into homes and filled them with cheer, spending years or decades of their lives creating priceless memories with loved ones, and living many more countless experiences; each location unique, and each filled with its own tale to tell. But no matter how special these places once were, they now all have one thing in common; they've been left behind, forgotten by most, and subject to the powerful and persistent forces of nature. They have been discarded by our society and left to exist in a world on their own. Of the myriad of reasons that these places have become disengaged with humans, there are some that are complex and tragic, and others much more simple. As you walk through these homes, seeing everything that was left behind to decay in upon itself, an initial reaction that a person has might be one of disgust and confusion. To question simply, how could this end up this way? How could people just move on with their lives with so much left behind? It is through these questions that their stories start to unfold. If you look just a little deeper, there is so much to be found. With this mindset, and with an appreciation for the natural world and its methods, it is apparent that something much deeper and beautiful is at work as well. The slow and steady effects upon these structures over time give light to their observer on the relentless nature of the forces that are at play all around us, all the time. Each of these buildings are comprised of materials that came from the world around it, and the Earth is the master reclaimer and recycler, constantly using its infinite devices to work upon them and bring their materials back into itself. Through the documentation of these stories, and the capturing of their beauty and decay, it becomes possible to preserve the memories of these spaces. What they were, what they became, and the often inevitable, though oddly beautiful realities of their future, either continuing to exist on this Earth, or become part of it once again as they collapse into the dirt.
