Portraits of St. Louis Artists: Amanda Pfister

.
Photographer Amanda Pfister finds her subjects in abandoned spaces, the empty husks of what was once human activity. Her images include closed car dealerships; old, empty factories; out-of-business shopping malls and, as above, disused schools. Nobody goes there any more, except her. The pictures are a meditation on transience.

We're driving to Kansas City today. Dinner there tonight with a bunch of the in-laws. On to Hanover, Kansas, (population 653) Saturday morning to see Mrs. C's 91 year old mother (still living at home) and the annual family reunion. I'm hoping to get some good portraits.
