This is a fascinating project. Photographer Kevin Bauman, in his own words, began this project some 15 years ago. Chronicling the decline of Detroit, and starting in his own neighborhood, his project morphed from a creative outlet to a full blown photo-documentary. Although he states 100 houses initially seemed like a lot, there are some 12,000 abandoned houses in Detroit. I’ll admit, it’s a morbid fascination I have with what is essentially an incredibly sad situation, however it’s hard to argue the artistic merit of these photographs.
