The Story Behind “Manchester Street Power Plant“
The Manchester Street Power Plant stands tall as an industrial icon of Providence—strong, unapologetic, and woven into the city’s identity. On this evening, while walking along the river’s edge, I noticed a sculpture positioned just right to frame the plant’s glowing stacks in the distance.
That contrast stopped me in my tracks. The creativity of the sculptural foreground paired with the raw industrial strength behind it created a quiet visual conversation—art meeting industry, softness meeting structure.
Manchester Street Power Plant is about noticing layers. It’s a reminder that beauty often lives in unexpected places, especially when we slow down enough to really look. Cities aren’t just steel and concrete—they’re stories, shaped by time, purpose, and the people who move through them.

Limited Edition Information
An edition of 25, and then it’s closed.
You get a 12×18 inch image printed on 13×19 inch archival paper. I print it myself. Each print is signed, titled and numbered.
The story behind the photograph comes with it, printed on 9×11 fine art paper, along with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Artist’s proofs (AP) are also made. They are numbered and marked AP, and I use them at my discretion.
Open Edition Information
Open Edition prints are made by Blazing Editions, a fine art print studio I’ve worked with for over a decade. I’ve been through their shop and watched how they work. They print to order with archival pigment inks, on paper or metal, and I trust them with my images.
Paper or Metal?
Paper gives you the most detail and the traditional look. Metal is glossy, vivid and tough, and it hangs without a frame.
Both use archival materials and archival pigment inks.
These are fine art prints. Frames are not included.
Which Size?
When in doubt, I’d go a size up.
The Print Size Guide shows how each size looks in a room.
Shipping & Handling
Every print is made to order and packed with care.
