About the Book

Portsmouth: Collected Saturdays is a volume of images that show the hardship of deindustrialization, floods, and crime in Portsmouth, Ohio. Ken D. Ashton's photographs show the other side of Appalachia with its fair share of unsuccessful socio-economic undertakings. Through the acute scope of Portsmouth, Ohio, Ashton portrays the macro effect of deindustrialization on small-town America. Ashton investigates the urban landscape, finding signs of depopulation through abandoned lots, homes, and restaurants. He explores how the influence of urban landscape affects our thoughts, actions, and imagination.

Ken D. Ashton's photographic work explores urban neighborhoods that experience transition as well as communities that have remained intact. For over fifteen years, Ashton has worked on Megalopolis, a photographic encyclopedia of communities from Washington, DC to Boston, MA.


About the Author: Ken D. Ashton resides in Washington, DC, and has spent the past 25 photographing neighborhoods throughout the world, with DC as a center point. The largest project being an encycopedic undertaking of photographing communities in the Northeastern corridor of the US, from DC to Boston, entitled Megalopolis. Ashton's work has been featured in exhibitions in many venues, including the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington Project for the Arts, North Carolina Museum of Art, Ludwig Forum, Aachen Germany.

Ashton's photographic work is primarily of urban neighborhoods. Drawn to areas both in transition and communities that have remained consistently intact. Showing the urban landscape and its' influence on our thoughts, actions, and imagination. Ashton's new work documents the small River town of Portsmouth, Ohio. It is the other side of Appalachia with its fair share of sad history.
