Ghost Building Photography- José Antonio Millán
Last week, I started blogging a little bit about Architectural Ruins and this week I would like to share with you some photography by Jose Antonio Millan entitled Ghost Buildings that I have come across while further researching this very interesting and open-ended genre of architecture. I am so intrigued by these spaces because they are such large portraits of history, building technique and immense thought process– in short, they house an untold story.

Do ruins intrigue anyone else? If so, why? I am really seeking some input on this topic, it is so fascinating.
