Description 
Ian Ference's photography of urban decay is both transporting and beautiful. The histories that he writes are meticulously researched. They are a peek at a bygone era, a slice of history. From his haunting images of Admiral's Row, North Brother Island, or Hart Island, to the images of abandoned hotels and theatres along the Eastern seaboard, the stories behind the buildings touch on issues of architectural heritage, societal mores and attitudes of the time, demolition-by-neglect, development, zoning, and landmarking. Other photos conjure up thoughts on a more human scale. Please join Lelaine Lau for an intimate evening with Ian as he presents his images and discusses his photographic adventures, his research and his preservation efforts. It is sure to be of equal fascination to fans of photography, architecture and history alike.
