Where there has been life, there are elements of that life left behind. Hidden among our present are the vestiges of days long forgotten. They are everywhere. They are pieces of our history...they are the incidentals of our collective American genealogy. They are the man-made objects and structures that have outlived their functions, becoming part of the abandoned periphery. Award-winning photographer Steve Gottlieb has traveled from coast to coast attempting to capture these links to our bygone eras. His images are hauntingly evocative of a past that we rarely see, and this collection represents his journey across Abandoned America.
