These are my favorite types of images. Peeling paint, broken windows, rusty things, doorways...The things that I love to photograph...things I admire for still BEING... The broken window, cracked door frame, rusting nail…. The building beyond repair, past lovingly protecting its inhabitants…yet it stands, it still IS. If only the stories could be told. It has an honor in still being. A quiet dignity exists within its four walls.

This selection is more URBAN...city scapes, whether shiny or the flip side of the bright lights big city feeling... There is another Gallery, Decidely NOT Urban that is more Barns, roadside country types of images.....Photographs of New York City, Petersburg, VA and others have been given their own catagories... don't forget to look at them too!

It's the transient nature of our current world that probably causes me to be fascinated by things that have withstood the test of time, defying our increasingly disposable nature...

The linear qualities, the absolute light and dark, the shine and texture, the reality of the urban/cityscape...all part of humanity's forward charge....
