No Life Guard on Duty

There is something nostalgic about a motel pool that looks empty or deserted. J. Bennett Fitts a photographer now based in LA started a great series called: No Lifeguard on Duty. His series gives us an insight into some of the motels and public pools in the Los Angeles area, and explores the decline of these sites and there abandonment.

His style of photography seems to be of artificial landscapes and just the sheer emptiness and wonder that still lurks. When you look at the photos it makes you take a step back and wonder what was happening in the past and how it got to the present. It quite fascinating if you take that approach.
