Last year, photographer Seph Lawless published a project called “Black Friday” showing abandoned malls across the US — widely-published photos that documented the victims of the recession and the online shopping revolution.

Lawless recently revisited one of the malls and found that it had become filled with snow. The broken roofs and skylights had turned the indoor mall into a winter wonderland.

The fact that the elements had invaded this once-popular indoor space made the experience surreal. “It was eerily quiet and beautiful as if the world had ended,” Lawless states. The mall was the Rolling Acres Mall in Akron, Ohio.

“The snow began to fall through the broken skylights and as I looked up snow flakes gently fell upon my face. It was then I realized I was inside a gigantic make believe snow globe,” he says. “I prefer absurdity over reason, because it’s more honest.”

in my 5 years of working at a fast food restaurant

i have never once, not ONCE, been abused or spoken rudely to for any reason by a young person.

You know who yells at me when the restaurant is busy and their order takes a little longer? When there’s a mistake with their food? Asshole middle aged people.

they’re shaped as paper planes
