I live in Kansas: At the crossroads of the bible belt, where high-culture, agriculture, and anti-culture mingle together.  These photographs showcase a place and a people that are overlooked by most, but continue to be the standard by which America is judged.  This work features a territory and a people that represent the heart of our nation.

It’s taken me many years to compile the images in this collection.  I have chosen to present these images in pairs because Kansas has always been a land of contrast. I draw the viewer’s attention to details using a sense of irony and a visual language that is rooted in the vernacular of this complex place. I hope that these images remind the viewer of a person or place near their own home-town.  I hope the viewer can personally identify with the tragedy and victory of this land and the enduring character of it’s people.
