There is Beauty in decay without needing to add anything
8 Jan 2011
Format:Hardcover
The cover of this book is very telling in that you have a wonderful staircase.... and for some reason, there's someone walking up it with a gas mask on. Sadly, far too many photos in this collection have these somewhat goofy 'artictic' touches which are extremely distracting. Yes, there is enough beauty in decay without having to add people with gasmasks, arms sticking out of walls, and balloons... For the serious Urban Explorer, the best collection I've seen is "Forbidden Places" (Jonglez) which stays focused on Urban Decay without any props. While there are certainly some fantastic photos in 'Beauty In Decay', there are too many shots with make-up and hairspray added.... yes, some to great effect, but only if that's what you're looking for.

Yes, Virgina, there is Beauty in Decay!
4 Sep 2010
Format:Hardcover
This book is a masterpiece, not only in terms of the numerous incredible photographs contained, but also the compilation and the accompanying text is thoughtful and insightful. A pleasure to read and to browse. Not just a book for the coffee table, but a book you will pick up and read again and again. Awesome, inspiring and artistic photography from the most amazing and forbidden locations!! Bravo, RomanyWG!

I've never posted a review, but this book blew me away.
I'm a model photographer and images shot in decaying warehouses & similar locations always have an appeal that enhances a fashion or nude model.
Visiting the Walker Art Center bookshop I came across this book, and the images are museum worthy, every single one.
Simply exquisite, painterly representations of magnificent, abandoned interiors, beautifully lit.
I really don't especially care about architectural photography, but these images are superb , unique and I must own it.
