Hauntingly Beautiful Images of a Downtrodden City
By Christa TerryHow amazing are these images of Detroit’s downtown captured by photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre? It seems like a ghost town or the corpse of a city – and an eerie reminder of Detroit’s glory days, since so many of the structures they photographed are were obviously magnificent in their heyday.
Like so many of the visuals that comes out of this sad city, it’s depressing. But still kind of hauntingly beautiful.
You can see these and more in Marchand and Meffre’s book Ruins of Detroit – which is the result of a five-year collaboration started in 2005.
