Black and White Photograph

In my images, I am most interested in capturing what civilization leaves behind - remnants of places and structures that, at one point, were crowded, used, and perhaps even over-used and have since been left for nature to take over and reclaim as its own. To me, these places are like circus animals who have been over-worked and, in many instances, abused. After being retired from use, they can finally begin to heal and find peace.
