file under: demolition

during a random walk on the streets around the workplace, i came across a building being demolished.

i'm always drawn to construction sites - the swarm of detail hidden away under a building's facade always pulls me in.

because they're exclusively a working environment, and because something is just being built or torn down, there's an austerity to what's happening, a formality to the process at hand.

despite this fact, that they're ostensibly zones of pure function, of just getting something done, there's nevertheless a strong aesthetic component to what's going on that i can't get enough of. i have to get close. i have to take pictures.
