Lights out?
These are hand colored images from my Downtown Dreams series listed in my other gallery. I have hand selected images and hand colored them to bring the neons and signage back to life.
This body of work represents a small portion of over 30 years of my images, exploring the world's forgotten architectural sites. This has been an ongoing project since 1989 that I continue to indulge in. In America, we tend to stucco over or tear down our past, and replace it with subpar, soulless boxes. I intend to preserve these structures artistically. We should not forget these nostalgic series of dreams. They are displayed here for our memories; for our children's memories. As Jack Kerouac said
"I realized these
were all the snapshots
which our children would look at
someday with wonder...."
Images where shot on Film & Digital ranging from 35mm, 120, to 4x5 formats.
All Images available in a limited edition series. Contact me if not here:
