Direction 3; Abandoned hotel in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico

 Framed Print Here

The intent of this series is to showcase abandoned buildings becoming part of the natural environment once again. Each one has its own story, whether a pre-Columbian Mayan temple or a 1940's steel mill.

Reduction; Reduction Mill in Murray, Utah- Framed Print Here

When entering these buildings, you are bombarded with new smells, visuals, and sounds that give each one a unique feeling.  Many are filled with beer cans, shitty tags, and ripped clothing. Some are kept as monuments for tourists to explore. The most surreal though are the ones left untouched by all unwilling to take a pair of pliers to a bolted door.

Toniná Mayan Ruins in Chiapas, Mexico

Though each is so different, with some millennia apart, they all share one commonality; windows.

Dance Hall in Ogden, Utah

This commonality is not as merely as simple as having holes in the walls. These windows control exactly how one perceives the entrails of the buildings. The windows create a sharp distinction between inside and out, new and old, light and dark.  Order framed prints Here
