flowers, fruits and seeds found in the midst of a harsh Alaskan winter.\u00a0 Too often do photographers focus on capturing natural beauty like this in its most &#8220;perfect&#8221; form &#8211; a fresh blossom on a gorgeously sun-lit summer day &#8211; but there&#8217;s a simple beauty to the fragility that&#8217;s amplified when placed in front of a snowy landscape with soft blue hues.\u00a0 It&#8217;s the delicate beauty of neglect that drove me to capture these scenes.\u00a0 I chose to render these scenes in dimly-lit lightboxes, echoing the same fragility of the scene in their cracked wood facades and delicate, transparent gel transfers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:

Dredge is the most publically accessible gold dredge in Interior Alaska; laying less than a mile from a two-lane highway 30 miles north of Fairbanks, it\u2019s stood idle for over fifty years, slowly rusting away, being picked apart by looters and tagged by vandals.\u00a0 Its historical significance has faded away over the years as the vibrant neons of recently spray-painted names gain prominence on the rusted facades; the graffiti takes over any conventional photograph.\u00a0 In an effort to strike a balance between the history and graffiti, I photographed the Dredge using vintage cameras and uniquely colored films \u2013 and the effect surprised me.\u00a0 Not only was a balance struck, but the graffiti seemed to belong the more I looked at my negatives.\u00a0 No story of the dredge would be complete without the graffiti and the graffiti redefines the dredge with each new tag, name or elaborate drawing that\u2019s added to its ironwork. Because of this, it seemed only fitting to render my own reinterpretations as graffiti.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-243 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/obscura-works.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ph645-lazarus-14-1-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/obscura-works.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ph645-lazarus-14-1-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/obscura-works.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ph645-lazarus-14-1-6.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/obscura-works.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ph645-lazarus-14-1-6-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/obscura-works.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ph645-lazarus-14-1-5.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/obscura-works.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ph645-lazarus-14-1-5-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/obscura-works.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ph645-lazarus-14-1-4.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/obscura-works.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ph645-lazarus-14-1-4-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/obscura-works.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ph645-lazarus-14-1-3.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/obscura-works.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ph645-lazarus-14-1-3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/obscura-works.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ph645-lazarus-14-1-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/obscura-works.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ph645-lazarus-14-1-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Process: Images were shot on Lomography Color Slide X-Pro and Redscale films with a Pentax Super ME, shot and scanned.\u00a0 Images were then digitally printed onto spraypainted black 4&#215;5 cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lightboxes: Visualizing Summer during Winter (2011) This project explores the latent beauty in the fragile form of dried flowers, fruits and seeds found in the midst of a harsh Alaskan winter.\u00a0 Too often do photographers focus on capturing natural beauty&#8230;
