About this project

Following the footsteps of my idols (William Eggelston, Stephen Shore, Mitch Epstein) I want to document the small towns that make our country what it is. Get to know the lives and rituals of the everyday man. I will spend about two weeks in each town I visit, have coffee at the local diner, participate in the events they hold and become a local myself. I'd like to spend a year out on the road, visiting mainly the southwest and the great plains states, the dust bowl states, the backbone of America. Once the journey is complete, I plan to publish a book and have a gallery show to coincide with the book release. Thank you for your time and your support. God Bless America.
