THE BURNED CABIN

While staying up north in Pembine, WI, at Jessica's parents new cabin, Mike and Jess showed us a neighboring cabin, which appeared to have burned down decades ago. As usual I had my camera ready to catalog the devastation. In addition to the pictures, there were a number of interesting finds inside, including books and original art...

 

NEW ORLEANS

One week after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, Matt and I decided if it was possible to see any of it first hand, we would. We packed the car and left that weekend, and as it turns out, access was impossible. But we got close. This is the photo record of our short journey down St. Charles street on the way to the French Quarter...

 

THE PUPPET SHOP

The puppet shop where Ian works on various creations has always been a source of countless photo opportunities. Ian needed shots of some of his work for a portfolio, and I'm always up for a shoot. The results were some intesting, some odd, some freaky, and some humorous photos...

Who would have thought that Waukesha Wisconsin would hold such a gem? I was wandering aimlessly throught the woods behind my office on lunch one day, when I came across what was left of an abandened building. There were no roads or paths that accessed it easily. There was a gear lube machine in one section, so I named it The Oil House...

 

GARY, INDIANA

I have pretty much always wanted to shoot Gary. It's infamous as one of the most depressed and run-down cities in America. My attraction to depression, dilapidation, and most anything industrial or ruined is no secret. Gary was a natural target. Matt and I finally made the trip and came back with shots from an abandoned cathedral, among other things...

 

BARBIE APOCALYPSE

08-MAR-2004 / Digital / 8 Photos

Barbie is too naturally beautiful for me, at least she is supposed to be. Stripping her down and storing her away with dozens of her naked clones, only to be forgotten about for years and rediscovered, was cause to shoot. Jenny called me over when she was sorting through what looked like the result of a tiny Barbie nuclear war...
