My name is Alec Halstead, and in a life shaped by both the lens of my camera and the perspective of a seasoned military veteran, I've learned to see beauty amidst turmoil. As a Desert Storm vet, I spent 23 years navigating a military career and have seen the darkness of war, yet I returned home in one piece. My passion for photography led me to capture moments of both joy and sorrow, each frame telling a story of resilience and sacrifice.
There’s a particular scene in Beacon that has always caught my eye. I took this shot 20 years ago, before Beacon's rejuvenation. Back then, the building to the left in the picture was just an abandoned shell. Last night, my wife and I were in Beacon for dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. Beacon has transformed so much; 20 years ago, it was a dangerous town where you didn’t dare drive through with your doors unlocked. Today, it is vibrant and alive, filled with little shops, boutiques, and eateries. It feels so alive.
As my wife and I walked past the spot where I took that old shot, I marveled at the difference from two decades ago. I ran back to the car, grabbed my tripod and camera. The sun was just setting, the air fresh and clear. That abandoned building to the left is now a five-star restaurant and hotel. I set up the camera and did a 10-second long exposure. When I got home and edited the picture, I was stunned by what I had captured. I knew the scene was beautiful, but seeing it through my lens was humbling, especially considering the transformation Beacon has undergone.
I hope you enjoy this image as much as I do. It's a testament to the enduring spirit of creativity and the human spirit when people pull together to make things better . . Production and Shipping Time:
