Whether or not this is

Tim Davis writes, "Photographs are revelations, not representations. They don't stand for anything. They are autonomous experiences alongside, conjoined with, real experiences". I read this as one of the first times I have heard a photographer speak about their work as a pure art form. Not an attempt to document reality but an acknowledgment of the medium's limitations and an active embrace of the advantages afforded. I strive to create work that lives this sentiment—taking inspiration from the changing landscape surrounding me. Everyone plays a role in creating the culture that we all enjoy. I look to celebrate the profundity of the machine that is an urban city environment. Culture is lost and found again; it changes as the wind blows. I believe that photography allows for this lyrical description of place and style of art-making. A capturing of a moment, but an understanding that this is a manufactured frame. With this in mind, I am not telling anyone's story. Assuming the lives of others, but creating my own story about what I see is being covered by asphalt and found within the leaves. A sentence within a paragraph. A sign of the inescapable nature of urban life A look at A CITY, not a documentation of Atlanta, but rather a relatable generic city investigated as it wishes to be.
