Gary, IN has long been one of the most impoverished cities in America. The economic decline started in the 1960's after the collapse of it's once booming steel industry. The city, which once had a population of around 200,000 now sits at about 60,000. Because of this steep loss of residents, many of Gary's public and private buildings sit empty and have been empty for years.

Many see these abandoned and decaying buildings as a blight but Milwaukee photographer Kim Cunningham doesn't. Kim has traveled to Gary a handful of times to explore and photograph these buildings. She is fascinated by what they once were and what they have become. They are modern day ruins and have an underlying beauty in them just like the ruins of the ancient world. Kim see's that and she hopes other's will see the same through her photographs.
