Jeremy was one of the first people I met on Flickr and I still look forward to seeing his latest record of the abandoned, endangered and disappearing architecture of the Midwest. For all of us who see beauty, possibility and historical significance in these buildings, Jeremy is out there with a sharp eye and ready camera to capture them. I also appreciate the thoroughness he displays in noting the location and historical significance connected to them. This allows the pictures to be more than amusing images, they are a valuable resource for understanding and raising awareness of the built environment. Finally, if you get a chance to visit his Myspace page, you will find a complex and talented man with a wide range of pursuits. If you like ragtime, you will thoroughly enjoy his arrangement of "Maple Leaf Rag." I watched it about five times because it is so amazing!

A documentary-style photographer of abandoned or otherwise-utilized one-room Ohio schoolhouses, Jeremy, in his own words "imagine(s) what these buildings and their respective 'ghost towns' were like a century ago...the people there, their lives." This is what draws me to the photostream of cziffra1, his honest reverence for the remaining pieces of these once-small and now nonexistent societies from the past. He does not try to present these structures as anything other than what they are, yet shows us what makes them glorious. This is how he seems to see them, and therein rests my appreciation of this photographer.
