The illustrations reference the 14 images featured in Stephen’s exhibit, ‘Postcards from Macon + Beyond,’ with each column including the Macon + Beyond photo pairing.

‘Postcards from Macon & Beyond’ was Stephen’s 2025 photo exhibit that featured 7 photo pairings (14 images total). Each pairing was carefully chosen to represent themes that help construct the Sense of Place. Images from Macon are paired with images from ‘Beyond’ in an effort to open conversation about the importance of home and away, and how both similarities and differences between each can be found. Below are the 7 themes alongside the titles of their pairings (Macon title followed by Beyond title):

Growth: ‘Blossoms on 3rd’ + ‘Desert Grit’

Shelter: ‘Hay House Spiral’ + ‘Morning in Venice’

Elements: ‘St. Joseph’s Rainbow’ + ‘Frozen Portal’

Spirit: ‘Christmas in Macon’ + ‘Spirit Valley’

Roots: ‘Muscogee Movement’ + ‘Nordic Living’

Terrain: ‘Ocmulgee Passage’ + ‘Antarctic Passage’

Presence: ‘Ovation at The Grand’ + ‘Backlit by Lava’

Each print comes with the 4x6 “postcard” of the same image, with the story behind the image and its connection to its paired image on the backside of the card.
