She mostly photographs Southern California, where I’ve always lived, but creates meticulous compositions out of boring and inconsequential architecture rather than from beautiful people and gorgeous vistas.
I don’t think her photos ever include people so there’s a sense of distance or disconnection from the rest of the world. And even disconnection from what people think of when they hear California.
The weather is ideal here and Mother Nature did great work here, yes, but anything man made was built in the last 75 years. It’s all built as a home for cars, not humans. There’s a cognitive dissonance that comes with living here.
I’ve seen a few photographers produce similar work, but she’s inimitable. Follow her @ casualtimetravel
