Americana Fear and Loathing in the American West: Workers

Another visit to Americana, another abandoned spot, another lost moment in time.  I have always enjoyed photographing these scenes and felt I should send more to my audience.  So for today I give the fear and loathing again.  The titles are in Hommage to the great Hunter S. Thompson who so many years ago inspired me to create this series.

I know it dose not seem to make a horrible lot of sense to every one out there as to why I use this.  To me there is an energy in these photos much like the writing of Dr. Thompson and the overall feeling of a lost american dream the proliferates through his writings.

New Horrors a Revisit to Americana

A new vision of a horror story or nightmare.  Welcome back to fear and loathing in the american west.  Again i have been shooting loads lately and am excited to revisit some of my previous loves of abandoned buildings.  I am now far from my previous subjects in the high desert, these were shot in Escondido, Ca at Daly Ranch a beautiful hick if you are interested, also these beauties show up near the end.

I love abandoned old buildings and feel they need som documentation.  I hope to shot these Horrific findings again soon.  I hope I will remember to bring some thing other than my phone.

American: Fear of the American Dream

Was browsing through old pictures today and came upon these, My Americana series.  These shots have gone a long way.  The television and couch was even in a show in Europe.  These have always been some of my favorites and hope to come back to this series one day and expand on it and move deeper into my fears of what people think is normal American wants and dreams.

I feel it is killing us our consumer culture our, our lethargy.  Americans have become complacent as long as our TV's continue to get larger, our couches softer and our asses fatter, we are all victims of our own indulgences.
