The Ghost Town

Essay 151 • May 31st 2017

By devising the compositions and colors, I wanted to evoke mood and emotions or perhaps a timeless entity. I would attempt to capture the transcendent moments and preserve the implicit and unspoken dimensions that we miss in our our daily lives. Thus I spent roughly three months collecting these images around this small town I live in.

 My intention was to create time-travel in a picture. I wanted to let my viewer explore by acknowledging the passage of time and invoke a sense of emotion that reminds them of their pasts, and to provoke a sense of their futures.
