“Habits & Habitats,” deals with the curiosity of the notion of a “Habitat” as a shape derived from our internal psychology.  Looking from the “outside-in,” these dwellings start to take on anthropomorphic forms and deal with issues of confined spaces and shelter. Utilizing a dawn-out exposure, the viewer is allowed a calm sense of architectural emptiness and an intimate observation of the suburban landscape. The plain beauty of the common wall is favored over the archetypical “scenic” landscape. Descriptions of street scenes are elevated to a heightened sense of importance through a simple and minimalist approach. These photographs do not manipulate the image through clever angles but instead seduce the viewer into the photograph with razor sharp reality and the calm of blank architecture.  The end product provides the viewer with an intimate observation of the urban landscape. Muted light, head on framing and the use of a grid reference the industrial facades of Bernd and Hilda Becher. The formula for a “pretty picture” is here despite the subject’s seemingly un-pretty façade.
