These photographs were made while wandering throughout the often untravelled backroads of the west, in search of a more real america than the one most of us are familiar with. by taking smaller highways and exploring forgotten towns i found that america is a place with a sence of poetic beauty and grandeur.
Perhaps these photographs will serve as a vehicle for a type of cultural self-reflection, to know that our
country has more than golden arches, strip malls and track homes. America has character and lots of it. I hope that you enjoy seeing them as much as i enjoyed making them.
