Artist Statement

The photos that comprise Assassination Vacation at the Huckleberry Inn derive mainly from visits to historical places that played a pivotal role in American history. Setting aside the backdrop of bloodshed and violence found at these scenes, I have tried to zoom in, isolate, and get lost in the small details of life existing long after cataclysmic events...

In a dusty old train depot a model railroad pays homage to a seemingly simpler time...

A bridge crossing the cool late winter waters of the Concord River gives few visual clues that on this spot violence once begat freedom for a nation... Pastoral scenes outside a small southern town turned big city exurb belie their bellicose past... And on a weathered picket fence, in the historic West End district of downtown Dallas the graffiti of pilgrims shows respect and condemnation for a troubled leader.

Half way across the country thick ice floats on a kettlehole pond that once inspired an American Transcendentalist... The last rays of summer's long light reflect upon waves and wispy clouds... And in the wake of a receding tide lies the remains of a once great shore.
