This set of images are from Spain. A large amount of the images are from around the village of Ataquines and the
central northwest area in Castle y Leon. I was impressed by the unique doors each home had. The last image is
a cityscape of Segovia with Castle Alcazar.

Plastic Photography

My favorite place to be when I was young was my grandparent’s farm. I could keep myself occupied for hours looking at dingy machinery and wandering around the old buildings. When I was in college I would take off into Chicago and a walk around for hours finding the most peculiar old buildings or ballparks in the middle of an industrial zone or getting lost among all the buildings, sculptures and crowds in the courtyards. Memories have a way of falling upon me. The feel of a place as it felt years ago can come back in an instant.

These images are about recalling those places in a type of New Realism. The images were taken with a plastic camera. They have light bleeds, minimal sharpness and odd color casts. These things are not a faux-description through meticulous photography, but rather I aided the obvious mistakes as they were taken. With the imperfections presented, the outcome is much more realistic and a mirror to the objects and remembrances as I recall them. My eyes are imperfect and the details are obscured by the lack of light.
