Saturday in the midwest in September is reserved for collegiate football. But for me the day will be reserved for a roadtrip from Texas to Kansas. My artwork was on display at the Mountain Plains Contemporary Art Biennial and it was time for the show to come to a close. Instead of shipping my photography home, risking being damaged in route, I hopped in my car for another roadtrip. I think this would be my fourth time driving out to Kansas in 2024.
I chose to convert all of my color photography to black and white for this series which I like to do to unify the presentation. Some of the photography from my roadtrip were captured at sunrise and others at midday. I also used several tools such as my medium format camera or my rangefinder. The most important aspect to this photography series for me were the textures from highway 35 in the midwest as I believe there is nothing quite like it.
