La actriz Diane Keaton aprovechó viajes y estancias para dar rienda suelta a su inquietud por la fotografía artística y retratar espacios vacíos de varios hoteles, un encargo de la editorial que lo publicó gracias en parte a que un trabajo previo que realizó para la revista Rolling Stone avalaba su capacidad para la tarea. El Crow Hotel (Miami Beach), Plaza (New York), Warwick
(Philadelphia), Sheraton (Pasadena), Deauville Hotel (Miami
Beach), Ashley (New York), Embassy (LA), Caesar's Palace (Las
Vegas), Ritz-Carlton (Boston), Palm Springs Biltmore, Pierre
(NY), Waldorf Astoria (NY), Fontainebleau Hilton (Miami) o el Sterling Hôtel (Miami Beach) lucen en las 44 imágenes como epítome de la decadencia en espacios en su mayoría pasados de moda y tan vividos como asépticos, en una suerte de muestrario de vida caduca o desolada donde se puede imaginar un ambiente de negocios cerrados, llamadas desatendidas, esquinas olvidadas o costumbres perdidas.
Actress Diane Keaton indulged in her concern for artistic photography during trips and stays in several hotels commissioned by the publisher of the photo-book as a result of some previous work she did for Rolling Stone. The Crow Hotel (Miami Beach), Plaza (New York), Warwick (Philadelphia), Sheraton (Pasadena), Deauville Hotel (Miami Beach), Ashley (New York), Embassy (LA), Caesars Palace (Las Vegas), Ritz -Carlton (Boston), Palm Springs Biltmore, Pierre (NY) Waldorf Astoria (NY), Fontainebleau Hilton (Miami) or the Sterling Hotel (Miami Beach) looked in the empty spaces of the 44 images as the epitome of decadence in what seemed like out of fashion rooms and furniture reflecting some old time with that lived-in look while quite aseptic at the same time, in a sort of showcase of postcards from a expired life style or forgotten itineraries, a collecction of desolated inner landscapes where the spectator can imagine closed business environmentes, neglected phone calls or forgotten habits in the changing world.
