Nashville, Tennessee-based photographer Jay Farrell looks at abandoned structures and rusted out cars differently than the rest of us. Where we might blight or garbage, he finds beauty.
Farrell has published a series of 12 photobooks of abandoned and forgotten places. His most recent book is called Abandoned Eastern Kentucky.
