Travels with Sandy in Search of America // Tybee Island, GA // February 2016
A background: I'm from a village in Ohio; population: 400, area: .09 sq mile. First camera at age 15. Attended the College of Wooster, a liberal arts college in Ohio, photography intern at Saturday Night Live in NYC, graduated in 2009, moved to Chicago, then on to London, UK to earn my Master's degree in Photographic Studies from the University of Westminster. Five years in Nashville, and now settled in Las Vegas, NV via Kansas City.
I focus on documentary photography and how connecting the beauty in the banality of every day life can lead to complex and inspired storytelling. I focus on the psycho-geographical instances of where I am in time and space and translate those typically unnoticed moments- the quiet lapse in between sets at a live show, getting lost off-the-trail, the unremembered details of ancient cities- into transformative narratives, where we can all recognize and reimagine the world around us.
Welcome to the journey.
