Nice composition Chris, and works really well in b/w.

Thanks for the compliments John. I'm pretty new to photography so seeing that people are liking some of the photos that I'm taking is definitley encouraging.

After apartment complex was condemned, over 100 individuals and 50 households were homeless. It was one of only a few truly affordable complexes in the city at the time durring an energy boom which sent rental rates sky-high. The City provided residents who could not secure housing one month's rent in local motels and SRO units, but I have to wonder how many of them ended up under highway overpasses and bridges. Given the number of drug addicts, recovering or otherwise, this building housed I cannot imagine the outcome could have possibly been safer than if they simply remained (and I am sure some did).

Immediately after the eviction, the owner sold the property to a property developer - while taxpayers flipped the bill to cover his lack of responsibility. I wrote my city councilman about proposing a law which would require property owners of condemned housing units to be required to pay for transitional expenses. Months later, I received a canned response.

Abandoned at the bottom of a cliff. Hopefully there wasn't a driver.
