The community leaders in my town, like too many others, will not rest
until it reaches the state of anonymity that visitors can't tell it from
any other place, so development of a new shopping mall "out by the
Interstate" is on-going, complete with generic restaurant chains and
national/regional department stores, now two steps removed from the old,
historic downtown area, which is in serious decline.
In between the two is the old mall, once thriving and full of local
shops to go along with the chains. It is now a ghost town, as most of
the big stores have abandoned it, taking their traffic with them and
killing the local businesses.
It's been an interest to me for a while, wondering what will happen to
the space, so yesterday afternoon I drove over there, armed with my K-7
and FA35/2, to see how it's doing. As part of a new project, called,
"What We Have Left," I want to document effects of this movement.
Not a terribly original idea, I know, but it may be of local interest at
some point, and it's certainly in interesting photographic possibility.
so, http://www.alphoto.com/images/whatwehaveleft/
These are the first of what I hope to be many images on the subject.
enjoy.
