Brian Ulrich (www.melodramaticwebaddress.com) is an eminent Chicago photographer whose photos capture aspects of very American, suburban life. His studies of Retail and Thrift are an interesting combination of beautifully composed, colourful still life images with some very dynamic portraits of shoppers and staff. However, for me his most striking work is his study of abandoned malls and stores from around America, the ghostly buildings are in various states of decay: from very recently closed to post-apocalyptic. For more background info on this work, there is an interview with Ulrich here.
