Disappearing Places
We all have places that we feel connected to. Maybe it's the ballpark you and your father used to go to. Maybe it's the place you always escaped to when you needed to be alone. Maybe it's the place you met your first love. These places remind us of moments and people. But, these places rarely stay the same. Sometimes they are wiped from the earth completely as something new replaces them and often we don't even realize just how much they meant to us until they're gone. Disappearing Places exists as both an archive and collective map of places that no longer exist, at least not as they once did.
