This is an old favorite (taken in February, 2008) that I’ve reprinted in palladium. I am working on a selection of images for a portfolio review and possible entry in a juried show and I think this might be one of them.

I discovered the work of a photographer named John Pfahl on Amy Stein’s blog this week. The photos piqued my curiosity, so I bought a used copy of Pfahl’s book Altered Landscapes online. Transformations of the landscape, both man-made and natural, have interested me for quite a while, and are something I would like to incorporate into my work more often. I prefer to come upon these scenes by chance, but it happens so infrequently that I am going to try making a few of my own and documenting them. For starters, I’m thinking of paying a visit to Darwin, Minnesota, and mischievously unraveling the World’s Largest Ball of Twine.
