After the zombie infection spreads, after the atomic bomb drops, after the alien invasion: the auteur directors and game developers behind post-apocalyptic narratives often focus their attention to detail towards public and commercial spaces, rendering them vacant and decaying. Think of the establishing outdoor shots in [*28 Days Later*](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%5FH-T7RPvt2k&ref=killscreen.com); think of the dilapidated supermarkets and convenience stores of [*Fallout 3*](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjnMIpgUzJ4&hd=1&ref=killscreen.com); think of the ravaged city squares of *[Enslaved: Odyssey to the West](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG4oLZR3Qx8&ref=killscreen.com).*

Photographer [Brian Ulrich](http://notifbutwhen.com/?ref=killscreen.com) may or may not have drawn from these references when he created his series of photographs, *[Dark Stores](http://notifbutwhen.com/projects/copia/dark-stores/?ref=killscreen.com)*, but his work undoubtedly shares with them in a foreboding quietness and haunting beauty.
