The remains of Appalachia’s Coal Towns
Der regelmäßige Leser dieses Blogs weiß wie sehr ich auf Ruinen, verlorene Häuser und sich von den Wänden schälende Tapeten stehe.
Dem Fotografen Jim LoScalzo geht es genauso und er hat in den Applachen die Überreste von Kohleminen gefilmt, mit toller Musik unterlegt und auf Vimeo online gestellt.
Photographer Jim LoScalzo went to rediscover the lost coal mining towns of Appalachia, but instead of just taking pictures, he shot video. I love the way he blends sound and images with subtle editing to create mood you can’t get with a photo slideshow alone. And even though most of his shots are of still objects, with the camera set on a tripod, the subtlest bits of movement in the frame, like a gentle snow falling, give the images a life they wouldn’t have had otherwise. Mesmerizing and haunting.
