Beyond the Code
"I grew up somewhere most people haven't heard of, and I think that's part of why I photograph. Not to show off a place — just to say it exists. Most of my shots are whatever was in front of me: a hillside, a river, the light at a certain time of day. Trying to hold onto things before they change, or before I do."
