American Foreclosure
Echoes of life in now-abandoned homes
A photographer's view of America's foreclosed homes
A kitchen is stripped of appliances in a foreclosed home in Benzonia, Mich., Nov. 8, 2010. Wells intends his photos to illustrate the mortgage crisis not by focusing on individual families, but rather the properties. From January 2007, shortly after the housing bubble burst, through Sept. 2012, about one in 29 housing units have been foreclosed. (David H. Wells/zReportage/Zuma Press)
