I was sent this link to a Beligian photographers site http://www.isabellepateer.com/projects/ This image is from a series called Unsettled which focusus on whats left after industry has moved on. In this case it's in the Belgian village of Doel. Collectively the photographs tell a story of loss, waste and I think a sense of betrayal. They convey a feeling of people that are abandoned, let down by what big business has to offer. They also show how in a global market business looks at costs first and communities after. I suppose what I really like about them is the fact that the focus is on the human waste, this to me makes the massage more tangible.
