I think Bernd and Hilla Becher's Watertowers relates to my work because it is focused on a single subject, but translated through a variety of multiple shots.



Three little snails all in a row. I like the red in their shells and the rock.

I love Airstream trailers. I told Emma she was going to end up in one of these someday, and she obviously didn't like that.

We all stood up in a wedding and were well-behaved. Back at the hotel, we drank whiskey and Ann Marie tried to teach us to salsa dance. I like the motion blur...it illustrates how well the lesson went.
