JEFF MILSTEEN: THE ART OF ABANDONED SPACES www. milsteen. smugmug. com
Jeff has been an avid photographic enthusiast for over 25 years. His photographs have been featured in a variety of local and national publications, as well as numerous exhibitions in the Southeast. Most recently, the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center in Atlanta featured a solo exhibition of his work entitled“ Shuttered: The Art of Abandoned Spaces.”
Artist’ s Statement
“ Photography is a means of capturing discrete moments in time and preserving them for viewers to consider in the context of their own life experiences. Although my photography encompasses many genres, I am particularly drawn to abandoned spaces, rich with the remnants of common history and the quiet dignity of decay. These places simultaneously evoke the aspirations of earlier times and the sadness and surrender of loss. Photographing them lends a sense of preservation and permanence to an otherwise fleeting existence and often offers rare glimpses into places seldom seen by casual observers.”
