Before the trip I thought, “Maybe I’ll photograph people along the way.” Portraits of folks I meet, or rather, force myself to meet. Then I spent 2 weeks photographing out of a window as we drove a friend to her new home in Arizona. Over these years my relationship with photography has changed and with that, so have my motivations; or maybe they have realigned with who I am, now.

It’s all pretty wild, out there through this window. A sort of unconfined juxtaposition between child-like familiarity and unfounded suspicions. Lots of fleeting moments out there on the road, especially when you’re just driving for hours on end. It’s all fleeting from behind a window. There’s a painting, ‘Wind from the Sea,’ by Andrew Wyeth and to me, that’s kind of it. Windy whispers in a stillness that stretches to a horizon.

In the heart of an election year even the land isn’t silent, littered with signs of present and past conflict. An expanse that has witnessed so much, yet, remains indifferent. Or at least provides little answers from behind a window.
