Camilo Jose Vergara: Tracking time

Photo: Camilo Jose Vergara

Camilo Jose Vergara has a fantastic series of photos on his website that document the drastic changes that some of the poorest communities in the United States have endured over several decades. His photos show how quaint little pieces of property can go completely abandoned and then turn into major expensive developments in a cycle that is repeated over and over again in cities across the US. His images are categorized nicely into cities, with Detroit, Chicago, Gary, Harlem, Los Angeles, and Camden all being represented.
