The Life in Things



This summer I have found a lot of joy in searching for the life of things. I realized that something I really admired about my travel companion, Shane Darwent's photos was the questions they asked. Traveling with him made me look at things with a curiosity about the intentions of the people who constructed the landscapes and objects I was photographing. Some places that people leave behind tell so much more about them than a portrait would ever give.

These are two pictures of one grave in South Eastern Colorado that really struck me. I felt like I could really feel the love and intentions of the people who cared for this person without have a clue what they looked like or who they were.
