Fantastic aesthetic – what a great blog. To me, it reads late Walker Evans meets David Venturi meets… you. You probably already know it, but I wanted to share a link to Yves Marchand’s and Romain Meffre’s photo essay about the remains of Detroit. http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1882089,00.html
You might like the blog I share with a friend, too (though it’s less focused in theme than yours).
Thanks so much! 🙂
