|
Location:
|
Montrose Beach, Chicago | I'm from a small town about two hours south of Chicago. It was hard for me to adjust to the lack of personal space in an urban area. This image was a sort of homage to my home town where people can simply sit and watch the clouds. They have time and space. |

| words from the photographer | |
| The framing and act of composing a photograph is my favorite aspect of the process. I prefer to be alone when I take pictures because I tend to take a very long time to compose an image. If I'm with friends or working with other people they tend to get impatient with me and it becomes distracting. I think this is why many of my images have a lonely feel although I'm not necessarily a lonely person. I'm simply more comfortable taking photographs when I'm by myself. | |
