Finding the beauty in destructive places interests me the most as a photographer. My photographs are most successful I believe when they not only express that beauty, but inspire others to find it in their own lives. I like my photographs to make the viewer feel like they are looking at something they ordinarily wouldn’t see. This project, in particular is a part of that vision. Williams Grove Park used to be a highly popular amusement park in the 90’s that fell to the wayside and was turned into a weekly flea market. Many shoppers frequent the park every week, but few stop to admire the beauty left behind by the broken down coasters, arcade games, and rotting paddle boats.
