Your photos are generally quite strong in documenting destruction. There is a randomness to them that Slobodan mentions. I think that for you, shoot a hell of lot more film, let your subconcious take control, but try to think about what is attracting you to a particular scene. Only by knowing what is drawing you in can you concentrate on that aspect. For example you have a lot of crushed cars. The wide establishing shots help to set the scene, but are there closer images that show the muck in the car, or the real damage to the car from the house, or just the idocy of a house sitting on a car that the wide shot does not cover/demonstrate. Or perhaps, with fifty plus contact sheets in front of you, you can start to edit down to a vision; or create a new shot list once you have a better idea of the whole. The place is not going anywhere anytime soon.
