On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I sit down with Ansley Stewart, a Houston, Texas based photographer whose work is drawn to the lonely places, capturing sights that seem to be fighting the battle against time.

Surrounded by the endless concrete, smog, and sound of city life, Ansley found a new perspective the first time he stood on the edge of a cliff, gazing down at a quiet river far below in the valley. That moment shifted not only his outlook but also the way he approaches photography, seeking out places where stillness and solitude reveal deeper truths.

Ansley’s work reflects a passion for documenting environments that often go unnoticed, allowing viewers to see beauty in the overlooked and the resilience of landscapes caught between change and decay.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Ansley’s journey into photography in Houston, Texas

• His fascination with lonely places and forgotten landscapes

• How a single moment in nature transformed his perspective

• The ways photography helps us see beauty in unexpected places

  
  

This conversation with Ansley Stewart is a reminder of how art can shift the way we see the world from noise and chaos to stillness and meaning.

Ansley and I touch on many topics in this part 1 of 2 series. Part 2 will go live August 11th 2024 at 6am pst.
