​This project combines portraits, landscapes, and still lifes in a series of photos ​that explores the lives of working people ​residing in small mountain towns and mining communities in the American West.

​This project combines portraits, landscapes, and still lifes in a series of photos ​that explores the lives of working people ​residing in small mountain towns and mining communities in the American West. ​Equipped with a large format view ​camera, and inspired by the poetry of Richard Hugo, I’ve aimed ​to hint at narratives ​and relay the experiences of strangers ​met in settings that spur my own emotions. Ultimately, this body of work ​is a ​meditation on small town life, the landscape, ​and more importantly, the inner landscapes of common men.
