i was actually pretty surprised to learn after viewing them that these pictures were taken by photo great Eugene Richards (i'll have to give him a proper write-up some time) but it certainly explains why they're so beautifully composed. (though, i have to admit, a lot of the credit goes to the subject matter itself).
if you are at all familiar with me you will know that i have a deep interest in abandoned buildings and ghost towns. i was doing some research on North Dakota (which apparently has multiple ghost towns) and came across this National Geographic article and accompanying images. you really just have to look at the photographs. they're quiet and beautiful, in a very lonely and somber way.
anyway, i believe the images speak for themselves, so i simply wanted to point them out. you can read the article and see the rest of the pictures here.
...what i wouldn't give to have national geographic pay to send me to photograph such places...
