Speck Series
“Speck Series” is an ongoing collection of photographs I’ve built, and am building, since 2017. I love watching people interact with the landscape almost as much as I enjoy being surrounded by nature myself. We’re clamoring for group selfies, staring off on our own, lost in thought or simply lost. The ongoing “Speck Series” highlights how humans act when we’re surrounded with that natural beauty of what we consider picture perfect views. Working on this series started as a challenge I set for myself; I was used to making portraits of people I know, up close and personal, so playing with negative space and isolating strangers in the frame have worked a new muscle.
These photos are works of creative nonfiction, for sure. Maybe poetry, but absolutely not nonfiction. There are moments of stretching the truth, stretching the skies, but I don’t want to deceive anyone. I believe the world is completely wild, but in that are moments that can remind us we’re just specks.
