Abandoned: Hauntingly Beautiful Deserted Theme Parks

Huffington Post called him â€œa master of the abandonedâ€â€”and for good reason. The â€œartivistâ€ known only as Seph Lawless has spent the last ten years photo-documenting the America that was left behind in the throes of economic instability and overall declineâ€”decrepit shopping malls, houses, factories, even amusement parks.

Through nearly two hundred gorgeous and elegiac photographs, Abandoned details Lawlessâ€™s journey into what was once the very heart of American entertainment: the amusement park. Lawless visits deserted parks across the country, capturing in stark detail their dilapidated state, natural overgrowth, and obvious duality of sad and playful symbolism. Previously self-published as Bizarro, this updated edition of Lawlessâ€™s photographic tribute to decaying American amusement parks contains new content and a new foreword.

For the first time, the famed photojournalist Seph Lawless makes his moving work available in a stunning trade edition.
