The Ghosts of Philadelphia’s Demolished Past
Cranes and skyhooks appear like dissonant memories, faded memories of the past grafted upon photographer Andrew Evans’ somber black-and-white snapshots of the present.

Depicted in shifting opacities, the structures appear simultaneously in the process of construction and decay, and the landscape reveals its very real state of constant flux. Did someone say palimpsest?
