As Bob Lussier and I get ready for our upcoming mill workshops, we did a little scouting trip this weekend along with Mike Tully to the Everett Mill in Lawrence. This place is massive, and full of incredible spaces to photograph. For this particular image I was inspired by all of the great images Bob has made of mill stairways over the years. And one thing the Everett Mill doesn’t lack is cool stairways.
When I got home and started to process this shot, I immediately saw the opening in the wall as a cyclop’s eye with the railing as a mouth below. Do you see it, or am I starting to imagine things? Well… at least the lines and textures are pretty nice too.


That is a cool composition Steven. Like how you used the stairs as a leading line.
And red hair – which lends a nice highlight.
Nice shot Steven! Looks like you got comfortable with that ultra-wide lens in no time.
Wonderful spot Steven. I really like the composition. I forgot to wish you luck on the workshops in your last post. Good luck! You guys will make a great team.
Nice composition, Steven. I like the graphic designs of the different colors as well as the shapes in the image.
Lovin all these Mill shots! Nice work
These old mills are the coolest things!! Great shot here, Steven, I too saw the Cyclops… but I do admit I also really enjoyed the architectural details, the great natural lines and of course, those wonderful textures. Fabulouso!
