Stewart Young, originally from London, travelled the world by boat, studied wooden boat building, progressed to creating sculpture, then ultimately to photography. He now works as a freelance photographer and lives with his wife and son in Asheville, North Carolina.
His work appears in magazines and books including The Worldʼs Greatest Black and White Photography and The BoatHouse: Tales and Recipes from a Southern Kitchen. It also graces the walls of Carolinas Restaurant on Exchange Street. While riding my bike along back roads with my camera, I am often surprised and inspired by the things I see at slow speed.
A bike ride turns into a kind of treasure hunt.
This series of photos comes from some of these rides.
It showcases a few of these once precious, but now rusting and discarded status symbols in all their glory.
A new series of photographic prints by Stewart Young, celebrating the beauty of decay, and decline.
