All of these textures came from a Cones Mill Plant that use to make corduroy. It was the biggest plant to make corduroy in the United States. It is now shut down and developers are arguing over a price so they can convert it into condos, shops, and resturants. At least that is what their security guard told me.
As I was shooting photographs through the fence, I heard from behind me "Can I help you with something?" I turned and said "no I am just taking some pictures, I am an urban artist." He sort of shook his head. I said "here look at some of my photographs." He looked, then unlocked the ten foot high gate and gave me a tour. Sometimes it is that simple.
