100 Abandoned Houses

I'm not sure where I first saw this project, but I immediately fell in love with 100 Abandoned Houses. This documentary of sorts was started by Kevin Bauman, who writes poignantly about the thousands of houses that have been left for worse in Detroit. The images he's taken are nostalgic, depressing, and beautiful. Looking at these makes me feel somehow protective of the houses. I know that neighborhoods can transform, but I wonder if there is potential for there to be new life in these once magnificent homes.

It is a shame because they all look like they could have been great homes.
