"Junkyard" metallic finish print
Discovered in a junkyard in Oxford, Maine, this car lay forgotten for years. Grass grew up through its rusted floor, while its tires and interior parts had long ago been taken away, but sitting alone in the Maine woods, this car developed a beauty all its own.

"Lock & Key" metallic finish print
An original fixture in an 1860s Maine farmhouse, this lock and key is often passed by.
When photographed alone, however, its lines and detail make the image.

Artists Statement: "Photography allows for a melding of both professional and artistic passions. As a History major at UMaine Farmington, I spend much of my time learning about people and places from the past and gaining a new appreciation for those who may be gone but not forgotten.
     Conversely, there are many things that are forgotten but not gone. Photography allows me to show an artistic appreciation for these objects, whether it is an abandoned car or the lock and key of an 1860s Maine farmhouse. These are things that may be overlooked by many, but in them I feel a connection to our shared past, and an inspiration to photograph them in a way that convinces others they are worth a second look."
