About this episode
Today, we’re joined by Laura Stotts, the creative force behind Diary of Abandonment. Laura explores forgotten homesites and rusted-out vehicles across the state, capturing their stories through her lens.
Join us as we uncover her journey—what sparked her passion for documenting abandoned places, which sites have left the deepest impression, and how genealogy played a role in her path to healing from addiction.
