Description: Abandoned Echoes of Tennessee takes readers inside the state's quietest, eeriest corners. At its heart is Western State Hospital, a sprawling asylum whose empty halls still carry the weight of decades of lives lived, suffering endured, and secrets left behind. From there, the journey moves through the rusting remains of U.S.
Brief description: Jeff Hagerman has spent the last six years searching for and exploring abandoned locations all over the United States. What started as a self-taught hobby became an obsession, and produced a large collection of photos of ever-changing and disappearing places. As a long-time resident of Atlanta, Georgia, much of the collection contains his home city. Buildings most people would stay away from are the buildings most attractive to him. Jeff's photos have been published by Yahoo News, The Weather Channel, WSB-TV, Creative Loafing, Daily Mail, Mirror, The Sun, and more. His work has been displayed at Notch 8, City of Ink, Radial Café, and by Atlanta Contact Point. Follow his work on Instagram @sloppystick and on his website www.jhagphoto.com.
