Nonetheless, for almost every demolished building or crumbling facade here there is another amazing structure just begging for revitalization. Unfortunately, much like the...

Many big businesses, like Proctor and Gamble, still call the area home for...

Photo Flood Saint Louis has an enormous amount of pride for St. Louis. We are very interested in improving the perception of STL, which we do by emphasizing what makes each neighborhood that we photograph, and every organization that we partner with, special. The opportunity to share what we love about the city is what brings us together each month, when we invade parts of town to record it in a surge of imagery.
