I could easily go back to Memphis and shoot for another several weeks. At some point. Until then. . . .

Originally this work appeared as part of a 120 Hours show. Myself, Jennifer Bisbing and Maggie Meiners put two shows together one on New Mexico and the other on Memphis. The idea was an experiment of what happens if you drop three photographers into a setting and have them do nothing but explore the subject for 120 hours. There’s been rumors off and on about getting something together but nothing has happened. Yet.

These are the pieces that I contributed to the set we showed in Chicago. I’d like to thank Norman Mauskopf for kicking my butt all week while these were shot as part of his Visual Storytelling workshop.
