About the Book
I am drawn to spaces of decay, where the structures within them are slowly, haltingly, effortlessly decomposing back to their ecosystem. There is wild, unrestrained beauty in cracking paint, bending support beams, and crumbling ceilings. There is also a rush to preserve them, somehow, from the progress of building anew on ploughed under farmlands, felled forests, and razed-building lots.
The photographs reflected here do not distinguish between splendor and decay; they are one in the same.

About the Creator
Bill Wolff is an Assistant Professor of Writing Arts at Rowan University in southern New Jersey. He teaches courses on visual rhetoric, new media, and the history and technologies of writing. Bill has been an avid photographer since taking an evening Intro to Photography course in 2001. His photographs have appeared in juried gallery shows in Salt Lake City, UT, and West Orange, NJ, and in the online magazine, Pictory. With Billie Hara he co-authors a bi-weekly theme-based photo blog, Composing with Images. The next step, he thinks, is to have small shows in cafes and coffee houses. When not teaching, tweeting, or mountain biking, Bill can be found tramping around decomposing buildings with his Panasonic DMC-FZ50, Holga, or, recently, Polaroid 250. Bill lives in Bear, Delaware, with his wife, Wendy, cat, Ellie, and on good mornings, a yard full of birds and maybe a deer or two. You can find Bill online at his web site; he'd enjoy hearing from you.
