Web-based photo editor Tiltshiftmaker has automated most of this process, letting you achieve a similar effect right in your browser.

There is a beauty that pervades this kind of urban decay and captured wonderfully through a photographer’s well-trained eye. These industrial city scenes are wonderfully dark and offer a glimpse of the weathered face beneath the city facade.

And here is the least reported moment in Bush’s tenure, one that has never been fully reported on for some reason.
