These stirring and beautiful images are by Kevin Bauman, a photographer whose 100 Abandoned Houses shows Detroit in a state of collapse. His own words:
“The abandoned houses project began innocently enough roughly ten years ago. I actually began photographing abandonment in Detroit in the mid 90’s as a creative outlet, and as a way of satisfying my curiosity with the state of my home town. I had always found it to be amazing, depressing, and perplexing that a once great city could find itself in such great distress, all the while surrounded by such affluence.”
