Grant
is a realist and doesn't entertain false hope or dreams that these
structures will all be restored. He sees their decay as a natural,
inevitable process and feels that "these palaces give a much more
tangible sense of history in their vacant, neglected state than
if they were meticulously restored museums."
A visit to Jason Grant's site: www.nostalgicglass.org
will bring you to these places seldom seen. You can take a tour
of fortresses, castles and estates in Russia - or visit the interiors
of the Nueces County Courthouse or the Baker Hotel as well as a
WWII airfield and the Matagorda lighthouse.
The rich photography is accompanied by brief but explanatory captions.
The section marked History will say a few words on the photographer's
philosophy toward these buildings and structures.
In Mr. Grant's own words: "I hope that my project will give some
of these estates a chance to say a few last words about themselves
before they slip away, to be remembered as the grand structures
they’ve always seen themselves as."
