All people need to be seen. - Bruce Davidson. America is still out there - You just have to look for it. - Larry Niehues.
I’m proud to say I’m from the USA because I’ve really seen it with my own eyes - all the beauty and the destruction, the tradition and the innovation, the loud cities and the quiet little spaces. - Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys).

Photographed using 35mm film, his portraits of people and iconic small town life (motels, diners, gas stations, cars), evoke mid-century American life in a way that is both authentic and powerful in the tradition of William Eggleston, Dennis Hopper, Bruce Davidson, and Robert Frank.
