"Central to all is my interest in our use of the land and the structures we create." - Ann Mitchell
I first became aware of Ann Mitchell's work through her sensitive and beautiful photographs exploring the architectural spaces of the Austin Val Verde estate in California. Her book, Austin Val Verde: Impressions of a Montecito Masterpiece was published in 2007 by Balcony Press.
In 2009, she published a picture every day on her blog, Impermanence, and browsing through the 2009 archive is a good introduction to her work. In 2010, she is posting a set of pictures and commentary each month.
✎ Urban Decay
In Vicksburg, Mississippi, Andrew Morang is staying one step ahead of the bulldozer with camera in hand to document buildings slated by the city for demolition. (See Shotgun Shacks on Avenue E)
His blog, Urban Decay explores and documents abandoned and decaying structures before they disappear from the scene -- and from our history. Mr. Morang is an experienced photographer, but what sets this work apart from the many photographers who take pictures of old buildings, is his observant and articulate commentary. His work will be valuable to historians both now and in the future.
