Posted Feb 07, 2011 Share This Gallery inShare850 Up and down Detroit’s streets, buildings stand abandoned and in ruin. French photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre set out to document the decline of an American city. Their book “The Ruins of Detroit“, a document of decaying buildings frozen in time, was published in December 2010. From the photographers’ website: Ruins are the visible symbols and landmarks of our societies and their changes, small pieces of history in suspension. The state of ruin is essentially a temporary situation that happens at some point, the volatile result of change of era and the fall of empires.

Photography appeared to us as a modest way to keep a little bit of this ephemeral state.

By Daniel on April 6, 2009 under Books, Featured, Photography · Tags: Cemetery, Creative Commons, Death, Featured, Featured Photography, Graves, Graveyard, Hauntingly Beautiful, Neil Gaiman, Photography, Photography Gallery, The Graveyard Book Photo Credit: Onkel Wart Last week, I spent a few pleasurably-languid hours reading Neil Gaiman’s “The Graveyard Book.”

Gaiman’s wonderful tale of a young boy – Nobody Owens – who is nurtured and protected by the ghostly denizens of a graveyard, transported me into another world, and made me contemplate about life, death and the afterlife. I had experienced the same feelings once before. That was while reading Emily Dickinson’s “Because I could not stop for Death.” We paused before a house that seemedA swelling of the ground;The roof was scarcely visible,The cornice but a mound.Since then ’tis centuries; but eachFeels shorter than the dayI first surmised the horses’ headsWere toward eternity.
