Worked on this project back in August, have finally had the time to sit down and work on an edit of it. I’m not sure if three months is really enough time to show the difference and change that has taken place, but I plan to shoot this again after a few more months to a year has passed. Still can’t believe how there is almost nothing left in places that were filled with debris… Inspired by the blog, “Dear Photograph.”

I wasn’t in Detroit for Game 5 of the ALCS, but none the less, the mood in Dallas was… depressed. Went out to Victory Plaza which would have been filled with fans if they were winning, but less than a handful showed up.

Texas Rangers fans Annai Gonzalez and Celso Briones watch the Rangers lose to Detroit in Game 5 of the ALCS baseball game in Victory Plaza at the American Airlines Center on October 13, 2011 in Dallas.
