Small but influential magazine discovers our bad side

[Carey]

The New York Review of Books' website has a link to a slide show of photographer Andrew Moore, who managed to find what many other photographers have found in Detroit during the past couple of years. He has a book coming out, and a show in Akron.
Akron?

From the website:
Moore’s photographs present a devastating scene of urban deterioration, offering us glimpses into abandoned motor plants, train stations, theaters, schools, hotels, police stations, and office buildings, along with vistas of vacant houses and lots. All of the buildings are in deep states of decay.
One of Moore’s photographs, showing an abandoned nursing home, appears in the April 29 issue of The New York Review, in Tony Judt’s essay “Ill Fares the Land.�

The exhibit opens at the Akron Art Museum before traveling around the country:
