Hope.

I tried to write a long-winded description of this photograph, and repeatedly deleted and rewrote the entire post. To me, this image is a metaphor for the location in which it was photographed; a wildflower, fighting for survival, in front of what seems like dying tree. Do a quick Google search for "Braddock Pennsylvania" and read the countless news articles of this dying town's struggle against its own demise.


More images from Braddock and its neighboring communities coming soon, as well as my first attempt at an Artist's Statement in over a decade.
