Beautiful Crap Photography by Industrial Photographer Steve Tague
It’s not often that I describe a photo assignment as, “crappy,” especially one that was fun, educational, exciting and in New York. But, after spending 3 days in the bowels of a New York waste water treatment plant, I assure you, it was crappy. My industrial photography was exactly what Arkansas based company BlueInGreen was looking for to launch their new website, so they sent me off to Bergen Point Waste Water Treatment Plant in Long Island, NY. It is an older facility with a lot of character and it was a nice change from shooting manufacturing and industrial photography in a factory. Here are a few of the images I captured during my trip to the plant.
