A Night Life

I'm fascinated by the light that surrounds us. I explore the landscape and the built environment in the artificial light of night. Many of these places I know well. They are my friends' apartments, my high school parking lot, the house I grew up in, the road I drive home from work every night.

The places I photograph may appear impersonal but in fact have personal connections. These are places that have a history with me, a memory or memories. The forgotten places of my life have become part of me over time.

 

Cedar Island

I experienced Cedar Island for the first time three years ago. It is a marshy island near the Outer Banks of North Carolina five miles east of the Atlantic Ocean. Highway 12 goes for miles through the empty marsh.

It was a quiet place reminding me of the pictures I had seen of grasslands in the midwest and empty highways found in film. Over the next year I returned every couple of months to record it through the seasons.
