There's something powerful about abandoned places, and there's a big group of people out there who seem to share the feeling, the pics are everywhere. Gilles Deleuze I think put his finger on what makes abandoned places interesting. He said it's about time, that an abandoned building for example isn't just crumbling walls, floors and furniture, it holds the lives of the people who lived in it - their often many years of life in the place. Those ruins aren't an instant of time, they're all of those years enveloped within the ruins, you feel those lives directly by being there or seeing them.
