The main street shadow really shows the character of pioneer buildings. Though not a fan of graffiti I like the green tag made by someone who was standing on the missing roof.Norman Beattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211632496303823615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-79265879514536556552012-05-02T04:13:51.416-05:002012-05-02T04:13:51.416-05:00Sounds like an interesting book.

Most of her photos (both colour and b&w) were taken in France and show old ads for Dubonnet and other familiar products as well as long-defunct brand names. Even more fascinating are her photos of the traces that demolished buildings leave on the walls of their surviving neighbours (wall paper, smoke stains from vanished chimneys, remnants of stairways).Norman Beattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211632496303823615noreply@blogger.com
