recommended for: Urban Explorers
Yes it is a picture book, not a lot to read here, but oh the images... Vergara's skill and talent for photographing the ruins of urban America is amazing, and should not be missed. The book gives an insightful glance of a part of our reality that most don't know exists or choose to ignore. The decay in the buildings featured is artful in itself, bringing both curiosity and sadness. Since being published in 1999, much of what he has photographed has vanished from the landscape, both for the good and the not so good.
