“The Story About This Place” Is part of an ongoing series that depicts outdoor areas and plazas somewhere in and around Miami, FL – “home” for me – These color photographs focus on moments of serenity and intimacy found in architectural emptiness within the busy Miami suburb. Overall, this series questions aesthetic choices made in the often-haphazard build-up of suburban sprawl. In an effort to examine these choices, I collect scenes through the documentary photography form and create a satirical reverence generated by this tale of concrete monoliths, car culture, benign signage, highway sound barriers, and other invasive agents. Here at “home” I have reluctantly discovered an instability that operates quite banal yet at the same time elegant.
