Incase You Missed It...

I recently had some photographs in a group photo exhibit from a project I have been working on. For those of you who missed it, here are the images and my artist statement. There will be more images from this project to follow as I continue working on it... Enjoy

Remnants of the Past
My eye has always been attracted to the old, the worn out and the abandoned. Whether it be an old building or a car that has been sitting for decades on the side of the road, there's something magical about the colors and shapes nature intrudes upon the man-made.
"The taint of age can be very beautiful. The wreckage of man-made objects is something more beautiful than the new. Rust and weathering adds a patina of . . . well, I call it 'elegant [crap]' or 'elegant gorp'." -Brett Weston
As I have study the objects I photograph they lead me to wonder how it was they reached this decayed state, who it was that left them to become this way and why? To me there is a rich history, which cannot fully be known, but must be preserved before it disappears forever.
