 READING
5 Read the article and tick (✓) the correct answer. The first one is done for you.
My name is Nick Acquaviva and I’m a photographer. I work in the US city of Detroit and I create images
of abandoned buildings. Detroit is full of them! If you want to see old, empty buildings that are falling
down and have graffiti all over them, you should come to Detroit! But you’ll have to be quick because
every week the city buys up some more abandoned buildings and demolishes them.
It’s really strange when I’m looking at these abandoned buildings and then I see someone going for a
run on the street next to them. It makes an interesting shot though! It’s surprising how many green
spaces there are in Detroit nowadays. The plants and trees are starting to grow all over the place and
they’re taking back the space that people used many years ago.
People are sometimes surprised when I tell them I take photos of landscapes and I do it in Detroit. I
know these aren’t typical landscapes, but for me they’re just as beautiful as any mountain scene.
