"on longing"

new series of work: "Staycation"

"Staycation" is a period of time in which an individual or family stays at home rather than vacationing during a financial strain or crisis. The term was thought to be first developed in 2007.

Photos in this 1/2 "found" and 1/2 self-produced series are to show what vacation experiences that Americans' have had in the past. "Staycation" photographic series are vignettes of the exotic, indigenous people, mundane snapshots, and sublime landscapes...showing all that contemporary "Staycation-ers" are missing.

Creating a disjointed anthropological adventure, I hope to subtlety point out comparisons between our current state of domestic American life versus the "undomestic" experience of the indigenous people.
