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.

In this great scheme of things you’ll receive a B+ just for hard work. Where you lost me was in the details. As they say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more true at this point. Having said that, permit me say to you what did give good results. The writing is pretty convincing which is most likely the reason why I am making the effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, while I can easily notice a leaps in logic you make, I am not really sure of exactly how you appear to connect your ideas that make your conclusion. For now I will subscribe to your issue but wish in the foreseeable future you actually connect the facts much better.
Virtually all of the things you claim happens to be astonishingly accurate and it makes me wonder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this with this light before. This particular piece really did switch the light on for me personally as far as this particular topic goes. Nonetheless there is 1 point I am not necessarily too comfortable with and while I try to reconcile that with the core theme of your issue, let me observe exactly what all the rest of your subscribers have to point out.Well done.
