work statement
I am continually finding myself interested in subjects that
examine the relationship Man has with Nature; Man’s longing for and continual exploration of the landscape.

This work examines the sometimes lonely journey that people take to see and experience the American West.

The picture “log cabins 2″ is part of a series inspired by photographers like Carlton Watkins who explored and documented settlements in the West. The settlements that I have documented are made for people who are looking to experience the “Old West”. These cabins, however, are right next a major highway. These type of journeys are highly romanticized, but are usually anything but romantic.
