The Top Ten Photography News Stories of 2014 was just released and my abandoned mall project Black Friday-the collapse of the American shopping mall is among them. A huge honor and to show support I will be giving more copies of my book away to select people that like, comment and share this post. Thank you for your support! “A Haunting Look Inside Some of America’s Abandoned Shopping Malls” Randall Park Mall, which was the world’s largest when it opened in 1978, closed in 2009, and has been destroyed since [Seph] Lawless photographed it. Rolling Acres Mall, which closed in 2008, is still awaiting demolition. While Americans can fulfill their shopping needs online or at outdoor shopping areas, Lawless finds that something unique is lost with the widespread closure of indoor malls. “People forget that a mall was not just a place to shop. It was a community center. We’d go there to visit friends. We’d spent a lot of time there,” he said. “I think people will miss those experiences, those memories they shared.” slate/blogs/behold/2014/12/31/popular_slate_photos_the_10_most_clicked_on_behold_posts_of_2014.html
