1. ‘Life As It Is’ by John Myers

Why?

Hello Mastadon. I’m Andrew Eberlin. I like taking photos of modern buildings. Especially brutalist buildings. Why? I like their simplicity. Their beauty. I don’t like the way councils and developers knock them down. Without thinking. The waste. The emissions of demolition. The lack of imagination and appreciation.
