Abandoned Places In the World is a look at abandoned places in 6 of the 7 continents, from Namibia, to California, making stops in Japan, France, Italy, Hong Kong and Russia (among many others). Historic commentary accompanies the photos which come mostly from photos posted on Flickr.
This would have made a fantastic interactive piece.
Carrie has some pictures of The San-Zhi Pod Village in northern Taiwan. It was abandoned, but no one seems to know why. There's also a gallery at FILE Magazine.
For some reason I don't remember posting about the announcement by Polaroid to discontinue all of it's instant film in the coming year (take a look at this chart). There are many people shooting and relying on instant film and so naturally, a new campaign to "Save Polaroid" has started. Sign the petitions, even if you don't shoot polaroid, you may discover it in the future (like I was hoping to do).
