Photo Essay: South Main

- by Martin Jones

These pictures were taken walking around the South Main district on a Saturday afternoon. We attempted to capture the beauty that can be found in the old and abandoned buildings in the area - the textures, the light and the character. We found that on foot, things we normally wouldn’t notice captured our interest, from the colors in an old parking garage to an old rusty window. While the South Main district has come a long way in filling up many of these abaonded spaces with great shops and galleries, there are still the old and decaying relics in the mix.
