Reception

[edit]
Elegy
[edit]

Elegy, Kimball's third monograph, "catalogs the victims of de-industrialization between 2012 and 2016" writes William Meyers, from the Wall Street Journal. Meyers describes Kimball's work as one that avoids the pristine colonial homes of New England and delves into a world of decay.[25]

Cate McQuaid, reviewing for the Boston Globe, writes that the "forceful photos of buildings and streets dominate" while the people although seemingly of less focus than the buildings around them, portray "lucid stories of struggle and the bonds of family and friends".[26]

Reviewing for Fraction Magazine, Lauren Greenwald concludes that "Justin Kimball offers us a portrait of our times for reflection, sensitively and beautifully" and notes the apparent disconnection of the subjects from one another despite them being in the same photo. Their disconnection seems to make Greenwald consider if the images are composites and writes that "the disjunction between the elements in the image [is] too profound".[27]
