“I am a visual person . . . a former graphic designer. I see images everywhere. I love small details, things imperfect, and incomplete. My photos are my visual journal, showing snippets of life. My goal is to transform my photos into pieces of art. Flickr has given me the chance to share my photos, and view those of so many amazing artists.”

“Like pieces of a delicate soul, broken but lovingly restored. The images in this stream are fragile, yet resilient. They are full of emotion, yet suppressed in narrative.

“Over the past thirty years, Michael Eastman has produced a body of fine art photography on subjects ranging from European and Cuban Architecture to Horses. This current American body of work is a project primarly about the preservation of a “Vanishing America.” “I love these old buildings and I love how they make me feel and what I remember. I feel a sense of urgency about this project because every time I go to another city, and I explain what I’m looking for, someone says, ‘Oh I wish you had been here a week ago or last year’…I need to photograph these places while they are still here,” Eastman stated in View Camera May/June 2005″
