There’s something powerful about how John Lazzaro captures abandoned spaces—not just as ruins but as echoes of the past. His images make you feel the history in every peeling wall and empty hallway, turning forgotten places into stories waiting to be discovered.
Thank you, Michael Warner, for recommending his work.
Until next time,

A big thank you to Santa Fe Workshops for supporting PHOTOSNACK.
Check out their Photographic Expressionism workshop.
With the emergence of “photographic expressionism,” photographers have developed the ability to express their emotions and experiences through abstraction and visual manipulation. Through the utilization of digital tools, photographers can reshape representational images into expressive narratives by adjusting color, modifying form, and incorporating motion or texture without relying on in-camera techniques.
Esteemed instructor Shelley Vandegrift unites her love of photography with her expertise in computer technology for this immersive Photographic Expressionism workshop produced by Santa Fe Workshops. Surrounded by the rich colors and vibrant energy of the Southwest, participants learn how to photograph intuitively and explore post-processing techniques that craft a uniquely distinct creative vision in the enchantment of Santa Fe.
Love abandoned spaces, I too shoot a lot of abandoned places. How glories these places must of been at one time regardless of their intented use.
