slide damage

I have a small body of work that includes playground equipment. Slides are particularly well-represented, for some reason.*

(On a side note: if you want to use the west-facing aluminum window frame to brace your arm while you make some images, you may need to seek medical treatment for burns to your skin. FYI.)

in storage

There’d been a fire at this building. And now, for some reason, it’s being used to store used office furniture. It was weird and surreal in the way that of course will cause me to stop and make approximately All The Photos before getting back on the road.
