@vitaliy_kiselev if you knew the Daily Mail, you'd ban any links to it :-)
I've done a lot of unusual photo essays....but I never did one that meaningless. What's next, bathtub rings in urban America?
Cool, they remind me of Joel Sternfeld American Prospect's. If you like this stuff go check out that one as well. Made in 79' all shot on 8x10" film. Really really beautiful.
I keep wondering what else the photographer must have missed at all those deserted motels! Unexplored stories of forgotten dreams behind each one, from Bagdad Cafe kitsch to the "nobody stops here anymore" scenario of Hitchcock's Psycho.
Did the photographer approach a publisher with the concept? Or go it alone, pursuing the unsolicited manuscript/rejection notice route, finally settling on a self-funded exhibition?
Somebody at the Daily Mail must have finally decided the pictures were worth publishing despite the bathtub rings obsession.
I think it's a personal project. Not exactly the assignment for a random photographer:-). Cool, never the less.
I think it's cool. Thanks for the link.
By now, it's become a genre.

"Twenty Six Abandoned Gasoline Stations"
During my days as as still photographer, this man was a colleague/competitor.
A very nice man.
He lifted the idea from Ed Ruscha, with Ruscha's blessing.

Personally, I don't have much time for this drivel.
And it sells?

Sorry Vitaliy, I understand. But in this case I thought that the thread title said all I wanted to say.
