of photographs are published by MIT, and don’t come cheap. I’d recommend their “Blast Furnaces” (no really) – absolutely stunning, though I suppose it’s something of a minority taste. Maybe you need to have been brought up in an industrial area (for me, Sheffield) to go for this kind of thing.

Silly me — looking at streams or the autumn trees in Rhode Island. All those years! What a waste!

It doesn’t have to be either or… growing up in an industrial town in the pacific nw meant you could sit on the slag heap of an abandoned copper smelter and look at the smokestack, vying for position with the Olympic mts. Or the gantry cranes and paper smelter framing Mt. Rainier, with the Sound in the foreground. Great stuff, although all the damned arsenic was/is, er, problematic.
I still love me some Ansel Adams, but I’ll definitely check out the Bechers’ work. -
http://www.abandoned.ru (the name says it all) has some great stuff, too..
