It’s not often I recommend an article that’s five and a half years old, but Disappearing Histories: A Conversation with Christopher Payne is absolutely worth the time. Payne is a gifted photographer but, more important to the context of this blog, several of his on-going projects concern endangered or slowly-dying buildings.
My only concern is that his pictures are so good that they glamorize the destruction of historic buildings. Demolition porn is both a real thing and the natural enemy of historic preservation.
