5.0 out of 5 stars cool book
This photographer is awesome. I've been photographing abandoned buildings for years and I'm very envious of his finds. I like having the book, but some of my favorite photos are on his website and not in the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
I'm sorry to say that this book was my most disappointing photography book purchase of last year. The titled intrigued but I was honestly surprised that this book got made. Maybe that's why it was published by a lesser know publisher (and also that the photographer is European based).

I like the format of the book but the print quality (and paper) is really...

This review is from: Abandoned Places (English and Dutch Edition) (Hardcover)
I'm sorry to say that this book was my most disappointing photography book purchase of last year. The titled intrigued but I was honestly surprised that this book got made. Maybe that's why it was published by a lesser know publisher (and also that the photographer is European based).

I like the format of the book but the print quality (and paper) is really poor, especially the lack of rich vibrant dark tones. I don't know where it was printed but would guess it was not in Germany or Italy. The locations are really great but the photos feel poorly composed/exposed and filled with horrible distortions that really distract.

It feels more like an urban explorer on location with a camera than a photographer doing some urban exploring. I wish the photographer would have scouted for Bascilio or Polidori to be the photographer of these locations instead.
