Interesting photo's from Rubbish Goes Here . A few steps on from the World of Interiors style 'faded grandeur' photo shoots, RGH concentrates on what is left behind, the remnants, the discarded.
"If there is a constant theme in my work, it is the effort to document places in transition. I’ve always been interested in Chicago’s architectural and industrial history. Unfortunately much of that history is being erased with bulldozers in the name of Urban Renewal or Gentrifications. Photography has been a way for me to document that change. For years, that meant shooting abandoned and soon to be demolished buildings around Chicagoland—schools, factories, and hospitals. It amazed me that these places, often of architectural or historical significance, were left to rot."
