Abandoned places

There is a lonely silence to abandoned buildings -- their vacancy telling the stories of lives that have walked their halls and climbed their stairwells during vibrant times. I love photographing these old places. Now that the people have moved on they leave behind only the shell that did not matter much when they were there, a shell containing the flotsam and jetsam of their memory now that they are gone.
