Abandoned Backyard Greenhouse

Behinds the ruins of an abandoned home, I found this cool, decrepit old greenhouse. The poison ivy prevented me from getting any closer!

Uptown Charlotte Sky Cleaners Composition 1

Working a few days a week in Uptown Charlotte, I’ll often carry my camera to capture street, architectural, or urban cityscape photos to and from my work office. This past week, I was in the right place at the right time to capture these two workers cleaning the windows of the Charlotte Plaza Building. Or are they really just cleaning the sky?

Abandoned Home

Abandonment is what first drew me back to photography. While I enjoy exploring many genres, my eye is always drawn to the ironic beauty found in decay and neglect. See my “This Ole House” gallery for more examples of my work exploring abandoned homes.

St. Mary's Episcopal Composition 3 — St. Mary’s Episcopal Composition 3

For Lent this year, I’ve committed to turning my thoughts and desires away from material wants and instead focusing on the simple things in life that truly sustain happiness.
