Book excerpt: A captivating look at the past New England Ruins is the collective body of work by photographer ROB DOBI and his homage to abandoned buildings across the Northeast. The result of twenty years of exploration and documentation, this book features a rare look at structures that no longer serve their original purpose and have been otherwise forgotten. Dobi’s work is an ongoing quest to study neglected structures and the stories people left behind. Approaching subjects of industry, education, institutions, and everything in-between, the collection of interior photographs evokes feelings of loss and nostalgia, but also rouses the imagination about the past.
