Sin City closed util further notice

I went for a walk with my good friend and fellow photographer Ted Roth to Waterbury, CT. We have been there several times before photographing different areas of the city, but always menage to see and photograph something new and different side of the city that has fallen on harder times in the recent decades mainly due to the closing down of the Brass Industry factories that in earlier times employed the wast majority of the workers .

The tools are laid down, the forklifts, the huge cranes, the machines are all idle now. The roofs are leaking and the seeping water creates small ponds inside the buildings with beautiful reflections of the metal structures.The company has closed down and only people you see now are the salvage operators taking apart the machines, the buildings and everything else that is still worth a few bucks.
