Photography, Black & White on Paper
Size: 15 W x 10 H x 0 D in
On Pleasant Center Road south of Waynedale, in rural Allen County, Indiana there is an old farm that is now abandoned. In 2001, I stopped there and photographed the farm and talked to the old man who lived there. He had sheep in a fenced area next to barn in the background of this image from the front porch. He got upset with me for scaring his sheep when I walked up to the fence, and for bringing two old metal chairs with me to photograph next to a shed on his land. He was afraid I'd leave the chairs, which belonged to my grandparents and thus could not leave. "You make sure you get that shit out of my yard when you're done, I got enough goddamn shit in the yard already!" 7-10-01

I am a fine art photographer from Fort Wayne, Indiana. I was born here in 1975; and this northeast Indiana city has been my home except for a year and a half spent in Santa Fe, New Mexico. My work is primarily documentary in nature. I am a historian as well as an artist, and my interest in the past drives much of my work. Photography has allowed me to explore the world around me in a way that few people do. We live our lives surrounded by the evidence of the past. Old buildings stand as monuments to lives lived long ago, and old people are living witnesses to history. Every year, I see the world around me change. Buildings demolished, new ones built. People die while new lives begin. Open a history book, and you'll read hundreds or even thousands of pages of text about the wealthy, the famous, the powerful, the important. What of the silent masses, whose lives are the backbone of civilization? I tell their stories with my photographs and my writings.
