My Muses: Ruins

Read Full Post…But what I love about them most is the gestures of grandeur or utility they once were, the stories of their use, of their place in a time and society which no longer exists.

I take a lot of photographs of ruins, but what I see in them is not so much what rests there, in front of me, but what once was.
