A few months later I was hired by Integrated Design to photograph the Valentine Commons parking deck at the edge of North Carolina State University in Raleigh (I’m noticing a pattern here…) So this deck had its own particular [...]]]> http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-architectural-photography-one-big-deck-deserves-another/feed/ 0 http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-urbex-an-abandoned-boiler-plant.-yes-its-as-much-fun-as-it-looks./ http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-urbex-an-abandoned-boiler-plant.-yes-its-as-much-fun-as-it-looks./#comments Fri, 24 May 2013 02:47:04 +0000 Sterling http://sestevens.com/photoblog/?p=1834 Sometimes you just get plain lucky. I was dropping off a photograph to a gallery and ventured to take a closer look at a boiler plant to an abandoned manufacturing facility that I had passed by many times over the past several years. I’ve previously looked for entry points only to come away disappointed.

Things have been a good busy this spring. Much of April and early May was filled with clouds and rain so much of my time was spent frequently updating weather.com. Needless to say I was very thankful once the drops faded away! It also marked the [...]]]> http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-real-estate-photography-mi-homes-2013/feed/ 0 http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-urbex-statesville-thru-salisbury/ http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-urbex-statesville-thru-salisbury/#comments Fri, 12 Apr 2013 02:36:28 +0000 Sterling http://sestevens.com/photoblog/?p=1805 Since vacation time will be rare the next couple of years and after all I -do- live in North Carolina, I’ve decided to make a conscious effort to see and photograph more of the state. Therefore you’ll start seeing an increased focus on North Carolina, at least in my personal work. This past weekend I [...]]]> http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-urbex-statesville-thru-salisbury/feed/ 0 http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-airplane-photograp-wait-what/ http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-airplane-photograp-wait-what/#comments Tue, 12 Mar 2013 22:21:39 +0000 Sterling http://sestevens.com/photoblog/?p=1766 Well, I can safely scratch off “jumbo jet” from the photography bucket list. I was recently hired by Contour Flight to document one of the Boeing 767′s in their fleet before it took off from RDU airport. The next group flying out was the New Jersey Devils hockey team and they wouldn’t let me stowaway [...]]]> http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-airplane-photograp-wait-what/feed/ 0 http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-architectural-photography-corcoran-parking-deck-durham-nc/ http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-architectural-photography-corcoran-parking-deck-durham-nc/#comments Fri, 01 Mar 2013 12:30:58 +0000 Sterling http://sestevens.com/photoblog/?p=1525 I’ve had the distinct pleasure of recently working with RND Architects on a couple of projects in Durham, North Carolina including a parking deck located in downtown near the tobacco district. When initially describing the project to me, one of the things that stood out was a term I’m hearing more often as my client [...]]]> http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-architectural-photography-corcoran-parking-deck-durham-nc/feed/ 0 http://sestevens.com/photoblog/the-raleigh-depot/ http://sestevens.com/photoblog/the-raleigh-depot/#comments Sun, 03 Feb 2013 22:27:53 +0000 Sterling http://sestevens.com/photoblog/?p=1335 Wrapped up a recent shoot of the Raleigh Depot for the North Carolina Railroad Company, while their Christmas decorations were still up in the parking lot. Photography required getting up in the air a bit so I shot from the platform of a 26-foot lift. Pretty cool, but doing so at 20 degrees Fahrenheit was [...]]]> http://sestevens.com/photoblog/the-raleigh-depot/feed/ 0 http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-architectural-photography-nscu-james-b-hunt-jr-library/ http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-architectural-photography-nscu-james-b-hunt-jr-library/#comments Fri, 18 Jan 2013 23:39:30 +0000 Sterling http://sestevens.com/photoblog/?p=1320 Woo! First photography of the year! Spare time will be sorely lacking in 2013 and opportunities for personal shooting rare so if able, I'll do my best to make the most of it. Last weekend I visited the North Carolina States James B. Hunt Jr. library to take a first gander after its grand opening and take photos for fun. ]]> http://sestevens.com/photoblog/north-carolina-architectural-photography-nscu-james-b-hunt-jr-library/feed/ 0 http://sestevens.com/photoblog/mohawk-group-flooring-at-unc-r-b-house-undergraduate-library/ http://sestevens.com/photoblog/mohawk-group-flooring-at-unc-r-b-house-undergraduate-library/#comments Thu, 27 Dec 2012 23:20:10 +0000 Sterling http://sestevens.com/photoblog/?p=1275 I was recently hired by the Mohawk Group in late December to shoot recently installed carpet on the upper level of the UNC R.B.
