Hometown, Oklahoma:
Last year I returned to my hometown to shoot a personal project about the land and the people there: farmers, loggers, cattle ranchers, small town fair goers. The result is a portrait of generous people and hard work in a rural part of middle America, the close heaviness of heat and humidity, undergrowth, weeds, open spaces, tradition. A homecoming.

LONDON NIGHTSCAPES – this series highlights the ever-changing and fleeting nature of urban London life, and offers a somewhat surreal, dystopian presentation of the city. At the heart of the series is the contrast between continuity and change. London is a city in constant motion, and the lights that set the city aglow after sunset serve only to highlight this movement.

An ancient Hawaiian temple Pi’lanihale Heiau in Hana is the largest of the known heiau in Polynesia. The sacred place once stood in the capital of the prosperous Hawaiian kingdom of Maui before the conquest by the Big Island’s king Kamehameha with the help of British armaments in 1794. Kamehameha went on uniting all Hawaiian kingdoms and setting up the new capital of Hawaii in 1802 in Lahaina.
