Contractor Steve Asher (with his dog, Charlie) and his crew are renovating a plus-100 year-old house on "B" Street in the Railroad District. Asher, who was raised in Ashland, has built a large number of new homes in town over the years but enjoys updating the older ones. He says a lot of clients are couples, baby-boomers, buying vintage homes like this one and fixing them up for their retirement years.
Ashland, Oregon is a town of 21,000 that has a lot in common with other small towns across America. It also has qualities that make it truly unique. Home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Southern Oregon University, people from various backgrounds and places have chosen to call Ashland home. As a photographer, I thought it would be a worthwhile project to document the varied aspects of Life in Ashland.
