1. Jeff
Brouws uses a distanced view to of mostly abandoned “urban” inner city areas
and public housing. The distanced views seemingly help portray the notion that
this happens in most if not every city in America rather than just the area
that he is shooting.
2. The
pictures are about how the popularization of suburbs beginning to rise brought mostly
white families from the inner city. Brouws’s pictures show the result of the
start of suburbia leading to real estate decline and abandonment not only of
houses but also of humanity.
3. His
pictures drew me in because in every city you will still find traces of what
used to be an old nice neighborhood now turned into a run down and struggling one
as a result of the impact of the beginning age of suburbia. Or public housing
down the street from brand new developments and housing, sky rocketing housing
prices, which often leads to the eventual abandonment and destruction of these
homes for those residing in them.
