Available Now: Fragments of Another Life
This zine is a selection of photographs taken between the years of 2000 – 2004, in that weird era just before digital cameras took over. A project of documenting these formative years of navigating early adulthood – full of the kind of personal growth and failure that molds you into the person you eventually become.
Looking back at this period it sometimes feels so far removed that I might in fact be remembering another person’s life, like a character in a story. Other times I feel so close that a simple song or random memory can transport me right back – as if I’d wake up in the twin size bed under the window at my old apartment and nothing would have changed.

Suburban Detritus
Photo zine by Christian Stevenson, limited run published in late 2021.
Features 32 pages of both color and black & white photos.
Size: A5, printed on 100 lb paper.
This is my first time doing any sort of publication and the process of going from concept to photo sequencing, learning InDesign, and eventually getting a physical copy was immensely enjoyable. Finally sending it out into the world now is both nerve wracking and exciting.
All of these photos were shot during the ongoing virus season of 2021. Since getting out and about was much more difficult (even now) I decided to document the weird, discarded and forgotten fragments of suburban life whilst going out for walks in & around my neighborhood.
