The very nature of photography is slicing time. Photographs are based on exposure to light, be it film or sensor and usually lasting only a fraction of a second. But in that unique moment, magic is made, never to be repeated, for seasons change, expressions are different, and nothing is static. It’s just a click, but one of endless boundaries and imagination, pausing time, and never to be captured again.

Austin, Nevada
Much of my earlier influences came from Oliver GaglianiI who photographed extensively throughout Nevada. I would often find myself in this great state looking for abandoned, weathered, and forgotten buildings. This image spoke to me the second I saw it. It represents my view of this unusual place. We think of ghost towns and we think of Nevada. Austin was well underway of becoming another abandoned town when I took this image sometime in the '80s.
