Sterling Opera House 1-29-2014
Walking through the backstage corridors of the abandoned Sterling Opera House in Derby, Connecticut, the level of decay tells a story in every single room. Footsteps echo down this narrow hallway where decades of moisture and seasonal temperature swings have weathered every surface.
The wide fisheye perspective pulls your focus down a narrow corridor lined with seafoam green wainscoting and heavy, cracked paint. Natural daylight pours in from an open doorway at the far end, illuminating dust motes and peeling chips hanging from the ceiling. Earthy green and golden highlight tones combine to give this composition a moody, historic feel.
