Captures the disappearing beauty of St. Louis' abandoned buildings, preserving their stories. Photographer Larry Bommarito takes photos of old, abandoned buildings that tell the stories of St. Louis. Showcasing hidden beauty and capturing change has become his passion. Unfortunately, many of these homes and buildings have been torn down or fallen completely to the elements over the last decade. Some of the images featured in this book were their last chance to say anything before they became a memory. The beauty may be disappearing, but it is not gone. Larry hopes this book is the start of him giving back to his city and the people who live there by telling their stories.
