Kevin Bauman started photographing abandoned buildings in Detroit during the mid 90’s.  He was fascinated by the once wealthy areas where nowadays the abandoned large mansions are an example of the downfall of American cities.   Redevelopment has started but seemed to stick to just a few neighborhoods and ignore the others, which are almost completely abandoned.  Today, only 800 000 citizens live in Detroit, instead of the 2 million that once lived here.  For more info, click here.
