My work is more than just photography; it's an invitation for you to embark on your own explorations. It's a celebration of North America's rich tapestry of history, aiming to preserve and present this heritage in a way that bridges the past to the present, ensuring these stories are cherished and passed on for generations to come.

Abandoned North Mississippi is the fourth and final installment in the Abandoned Mississippi series by Jason Lykins, bringing his statewide exploration to a powerful close. In this volume, Lykins turns his attention to the northern reaches of Mississippi, documenting abandoned churches, forgotten schools, and silent industrial sites that once served as the backbone of their communities
Six regular people who love history and forgotten places set out to explore the abandoned corners of Mississippi and Louisiana. Together they ventured into a decaying sugar mill deep in the bayou, a massive riverside power plant, a towering empty skyscraper, and an old prison tied to Jimmy Hoffa legends. These are their true stories—of rusting machinery, secret letters, close calls, and the quiet moments when the past feels close enough to touch. If you’ve ever wondered what lies behind locked gates and boarded windows, this book will take you there.
This evocative book, rich with atmospheric imagery and poignant reflections, invites readers to ponder the mysteries of abandonment and rediscover a region where history lingers in the shadows. Abandoned East Mississippi is a compelling tribute to a forgotten corner of the Magnolia State.
