The art deco Mercantile Clock Tower emerges from behind the remnants of the old Dallas Grand Hotel parking garage. The 1900 block of Main Street was razed during the summer of 2007 to make way for the new Main Street Gardens Park.

A "deep dive" into a soon-to-disappear retail landmark. The first and original anchor store at the Beloit Plaza. Walked around on a cold day last week with a too-long lens (effective 120-300mm) focused on demolition of the unique architecture that made up most (all?) Kohl's Grocery stores in the 60's.
The arched design meant there are no interior beams or supporting columns. This results in an open floor plan, with no obstructions. It'd make a near-perfect venue for concerts and theater, but in this location, and with a population less-than 50,000, the Greater Beloit area would be hard pressed to make the economics work for such a venue.
As I understand it, this will be torn down and replaced with a new building housing the Kids First Beloit Lincoln Academy public charter school.
The Lafayette Building was a 14 story office building built in 1923. The Detroit building was last occupied in 1997. It was demolished between October 2009 and February 2010.

Washington, DC / July 24, 2008
When the city of La Center needed to remove a dilapidated house on city property, they chose to deconstruct, rather than demolish.
La Center recently purchased a lot with a vacated house slated for removal and has contracted with DeConstruction Services for this project. Says Public Works Director, Jeff Sarvis, “The use of deconstruction to remove houses is another step toward reducing waste, promoting reuse and recycling, and keeping it out of our landfills, which is an essential component of sustainable, green building.”
Working with DeConstruction Services—a project of the non-profit organization The ReBuilding Center—La Center will keep 6000 square feet of reusable building materials from the landfill. The environmental savings of deconstruction are the equivalent of preserving 20 mature trees in the forest, taking 1.7 cars off the road in the reduction of greenhouse gas, and saving 1440 gallons of clean drinking water.

This is images inspired by photographer Aaron Siskind. It was my first project 'Deconstruction' at my Foundation Course. I was looking to focus on unusual ways to photograph something to obscure what the image is.
from a library, to a shelf, to this. me without books is...i don't even know.
GAH!!!! i almost forgot, cause they are sitting elsewhere. i am DEFINITELY keeping Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (signed), The History of Love (signed), and the PostSecret book.
Testing out the resolution capability of a Pentax K3 11 with Pixel Shift Resolution OFF (I'll shoot some more with it on to compare).
Used a Tamron 90mm Macro, no flash, but did use a pretty bright LED torch about half way through the shoot. As you can imagine the disk is quite small, being out of a Toshiba laptop. Let me know if you want a copy of the original RAW files though. Minor processing in Lightroom. I alos think I might have voided my warranty by doing this!!!!
Removing the building next door. Word is they're going to take it to Paraguay to build it up again. Weird rumor, but that's the story I heard. A Whole Foods and condos are going in afterwards.

Martin County Florida's old couthouse was torn down in 1985. This photo was of the last remaining wall.
The deconstruction of an exhibit is a lot of work and takes our full team of Museum staff. Here Curator of Interpretation, Ronette Rumpca, picks up the hands on items from the “Our South Dakota” exhibit. Ronette develops many of the hands on activities museum visitors enjoy throughout our gallery space. She certainly had her work cut out for her in “Our South Dakota”.
On my walk around Christchurch city, February 16, 2012.
The earthquakes in December realy damaged this appartment block badly so now it is on it's was down!
A magnitude 5.8 followed by a 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Lyttelton on Friday afternoon the 23rd December, 2011, causing liquefaction to once again erupt from the earth and leaving sewerage, water and power out of action in pockets of eastern Christchurch.
A series of intense'' aftershocks have followed, and hundreds and hundreds'' were recorded by GNS in the 24 hours following the two major quakes, said seismologist Bill Fry.)
Taken from the New Zealand Herald New paper
The February 22, 2011 Christchurch earthquake was a magnitude 6.3 (ML) earthquake that struck the Canterbury region in New Zealand's South Island at 12:51 pm on Tuesday, 22 February 2011 local time (23:51 21 February UTC), The earthquake was centred 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) west of the town of Lyttelton, and 10 kilometres (6 mi) south-east of the centre of Christchurch, New Zealand's second-most populous city. It followed nearly six months after the magnitude 7.1 4 September 2010 Canterbury earthquake, which caused significant damage to Christchurch and the central Canterbury region, but no direct fatalities.
The earthquake caused widespread damage across Christchurch, especially in the central city and eastern suburbs, with damage exacerbated by buildings and infrastructure already being weakened by the 4 September 2010 earthquake and its aftershocks. Significant liquefaction affected the eastern suburbs, producing around 400,000 tonnes of silt. The earthquake was reported to be felt across the South Island and the lower and central North Island.
In total, 184 (as from Jan, 2012) people were killed in the earthquake, making the earthquake the second-deadliest natural disaster recorded in New Zealand (after the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake), and fourth-deadliest disaster of any kind recorded in New Zealand, with nationals from more than 20 countries among the victims. Over half of the deaths occurred in the six-storey Canterbury Television (CTV) Building, which collapsed and caught fire in the quake. The government declared a state of national emergency, which stayed in force until 30 April 2011.
It has been estimated that the total cost of rebuilding to insurers to be around NZ$15–16 billion, making it by far New Zealand's costliest natural disaster, and the third-costliest earthquake (nominally) worldwide.
The earthquake would ultimately be one of three major earthquakes in a year-long earthquake swarm affecting the Christchurch area, and was followed by a large aftershock on 13 June 2011, which caused considerable additional damage.
