This photographic series is my attempt to draw out the beauty and passion from everyday objects that come alive during my controlled lighting at night.
By carefully composing and lighting these real-life objects, and with the help of volunteer photographic assistants, I’m striving to interpret them as metaphors for values of character, honor, integrity and pride, exemplified by the people who work with this equipment on a regular basis.
Through my photographs I strive to share with the viewer the passions enjoyed by our fellow countrymen. Whether laborer, professional, volunteer, corporate CEO or just a guy who owns a cool, old pickup truck, we all share this American experience together.
