100 Abandoned Houses By Kevin Bauman, Detroit, United States

Photographer Kevin Bauman documents the decline of Detroit in 100 Abandoned Houses. Over the past 60 years, the city has gone from thriving metropolis, to a city in steady, undeniably decline. Over 50% of its population has left in the last 60 years, and the process shows no sign of stopping. These homes are a testament to where once there was progress and growth.
Kevin Bauman is currently residing in metropolitan Detroit, Michigan, but having lived in Colorado, Oregon, and Wisconsin, He has developed an interest in the interaction between man and environment. Whether the urban decay associated with Detroit, or the mountains of the western United States, his focus has been and continues to be on the landscape. His landscapes, however, do not always reflect the idyllic scene most often portrayed by the traditional landscape photograph or painting, but ranges from serene Lake Superior sunsets to chaotic post-industrial landscapes of urban Detroit.
