Has it ever come to your attention, that buildings that are abandoned or being out of use for years, might have secrets of their own???
Buildings of the past are meaningful for us as witnesses of life that passed them by and gone into history books. Those buildings used to be destroyed to give way for new ones (not necessarily well esthetically define ones).
It happened a lot; in fact it happened way too often in the USA.
It’s time to recognize that there’s a significance of the old structures of New World. It’s time to see the beauty of them, and it’s time to transform old structures in order to save not only what seems to be bunch of bricks, but ourselves from the ignorance and numbness of our souls…
Eric P. Laverty is ONE big believer of savers of old buildings,to the extent that he invented a new term- Structural Catabolism...
Eric spent hours, which in total could be enough for space voyage in observing old buildings with his camera.
He made thousands of photographs, hours and hours in communication with something some people never notice, in order for us to see their hidden charm.
Eric’s photographs are history that gone through his artistic heart, and like projector in the dark night hit the clouds and shows us the images of new beginning. To see the possible future - bright future in incorporating old decaying walls into our life.
