About the Pictures

        Home Statement Bio Vitae Contact Links News

These photographs are made within landscapes that exist for

brief, sometimes momentary spaces of time.   In some state

of flux, they are generally not places that we imagine a

Landscape photograph should either be seen or made.  They

are mostly industrial in nature and by many standards should

not be expected to represent the picturesque.  Yet they all

share a shape, a symmetry that is at once clearly man-

made and also outside of us.  Piles, stacks, hills, mounds and

certainly mountains are ancient and iconic symbols and

forms that have been linked to our sense of self and place

for centuries.  These modern day ziggurats are everywhere

and nowhere, both fleeting and timeless.  They are, in many

ways, the ultimately modern landscape.
