Unoccupied Places
Abandoned Places
The towns of Miami and Globe in east central Arizona are past their primes. They are mining towns with a rich history, and the places have great character. Many places in these towns have been abandoned, some are in a state of arrested decay or partially used, others have been left to return to the elements. The places here are among those places. Like many of my other photos, the images here are neither portraits of the individuals, nor portraits of the places. Many of the images contain contradictions between the individuals and the place they occupy.
The viewer is allowed and encouraged to add their own story or interpretation to the images. As usual, I am endebted to many people who have shared these places with me.
Enjoy.
