In Passing

This series was developed over a two year period that has taken many emotional twists and turns.

My objective has been to photograph the latent emotional traces of tragic events. These include the artifacts of grief, reconciliation and eventual acceptance. The traces of a tragedy can sometimes be very subtle and other times extremely blatant. The evidence can be implied or it can overwhelm you. These are the range of emotions that I wanted to explore.

This series has become a part of my personal journey to comprehend my own mortality and the loss of family and friends. This series has also provided me with a renewed celebration of my life as is today.

My aim was not to provide a view that is comprehensive but provide a context to those roadside memorials that are passed too quickly on the paths we travel. Subsequently, some of these tragic events have created changes to ensure that similar tragedies may not occur in these same places again.

Second Edition - enhanced, enlarged and modified to improve the contextual experience and is limited to 100 copies. In addition, there is a special Limited Edition of 10 ImageWrap books with a Limited Edition photograph, all enclosed in an archival folio.
