Landscape photographer

I picked the photographer Hannah Collins. She is a well accomplished photographer from the U.K. She did a series called "In the course of Time". It is a black and white series but it is very interesting. One photograph in particular is titled "Huta Chemical Works", I found it to be a very interesting image. You can view it at http://hannahcollins.net/projects/archive/in-the-course-of-time.html I think what is so interesting about it is that it has a very ubiquitous sense of time. To me it has a depressed tone. Had it been taken recently I would have related it to the recent housing crisis. However it was taken in 96. Perhaps because it is taken in winter or that it is in black in white that makes it look desolate. I think that she wanted to portray a sense of desolation.
