Ruin: Five Books - 09-17-2009, 12:57 PM


Photographers seem attracted to ruined and abandoned structures as artists have since the Renaissance.

Geoff Wittig has out five reviews on five photography books which capture the decay and abandonment of the early 21st century.

Here are the reviews.

I'm sure if you are like me, the best learning tool in photography is a great photograph and these have great ones. I think the "Blue Room" will soon be hitting my door step...

The Blue Room and Ruin are in my Amazon wish list. I keep forgetting to add them to the cart.

Stephen Wilkes' Ellis Island : Ghosts of Freedom is a book I own and revist frequently.
