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.

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/richmond-virginia-urbex/ http://sestevens.com/photoblog/richmond-virginia-urbex/#comments Sun, 17 Mar 2013 23:11:38 +0000 Sterling http://sestevens.com/photoblog/?p=1778 I recently revisited Richmond, Virginia to shoot an office space on behalf of one of my clients, the Mohawk Group. You may remember my last visit to Richmond included tripping through the old Interbake Cookie Factory. Good thing too, because as the economy recovers, a flood of these dilapidated buildings that have been sitting abandoned [...]]]> http://sestevens.com/photoblog/richmond-virginia-urbex/feed/ 2 http://sestevens.com/photoblog/behind-the-image-claxton-fields/ http://sestevens.com/photoblog/behind-the-image-claxton-fields/#comments Fri, 04 Jan 2013 02:40:36 +0000 Sterling http://sestevens.com/photoblog/?p=1283 OCTOBER 10, 2003: Mom whipped her head around towards me slumbering in the back of the car and demanded, “Are you listening, Sterl?” I drowsily raised my head from the nest I made between the back seat and rear window enough to mumble, “Yeah sure Ma.” Seemingly satisfied with this less-than-robust answer, my mother returned [...]]]> http://sestevens.com/photoblog/behind-the-image-claxton-fields/feed/ 0 http://sestevens.com/photoblog/2012-in-review/ http://sestevens.com/photoblog/2012-in-review/#comments Wed, 26 Dec 2012 18:32:09 +0000 Sterling http://sestevens.com/photoblog/?p=1207 Thank you so much to everyone for making 2012 a fruitful, successful year. I’m truly blessed to have the best clients and supporters that I could ever hope for, to get to see, partake, and share everything I’ve been able to.

If my vegetarian and vegan followers will forgive the metaphor, but this is blog is 100% red meat – nothing but architecture, baby – no filler. Actually, you’ll also need to forgive me for the literal interpretation because that’s exactly what I [...]]]> http://sestevens.com/photoblog/dallas-area-architectural-photography-red-meat/feed/ 1 http://sestevens.com/photoblog/dont-skip-arkansas-part-2-high-and-dry/ http://sestevens.com/photoblog/dont-skip-arkansas-part-2-high-and-dry/#comments Fri, 09 Nov 2012 17:07:30 +0000 Sterling http://sestevens.com/photoblog/?p=1051 You read my previous two blogs from this trip, right? Of course you did, but in case you didn’t: October 2012 – Memphis, Tennessee Don’t Skip Arkansas, Part 1 – It’s really nice out there. I was pretty stoked to see the natural scenery in the Ozarks.

What in the world is in THAT state? So I asked my Facebook. After several people suggested driving through without stopping, many friends stepped in to make recommendations, which launched my planning for visiting [...]]]> http://sestevens.com/photoblog/dont-skip-arkansas-part-1-its-really-nice-out-there/feed/ 0 http://sestevens.com/photoblog/october-2012-memphis-tennessee/ http://sestevens.com/photoblog/october-2012-memphis-tennessee/#comments Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:53:41 +0000 Sterling http://sestevens.com/photoblog/?p=974 So I recently took a two-week road trip that I will completely present out of order. The first stop is Memphis, TN in which I stopped briefly on the way in and stayed for a weekend on the way back to Carolina.
