David Creedon
much like Robert Polidori's
abandoned Chernobyl classrooms and crumbling Cuban interiors,
Creedon captures the lingering mood of departure
in Ireland's rural areas within his hauntingly beautiful photo essay:
"Ghosts of the Faithful Departed"

    These remind me of Todd Hido's "House Hunting" monograph shot several years ago in the backstreets and crumbling interiors of U.S. cities where you never see a person (even if you see the blue light of a television glowing on the wall next door or a purple velvet chair holding closed a hotel room door where a stained mattress lies abandoned) - someone once dubbed it "urban pornography".
