Recliner Art
Bozeman, Montana
2018

It’s a common occurrence in Bozeman to see discarded furniture sitting along the street in various parts of town. It is mostly due to transient renters, lead by students from the university, who move and do not have the desire or means to move their often worn out furniture. Most of these “art installations” don’t warrant a second look, but this old recliner got my attention when I was walking by one day. I did not have my camera with me but made the effort of jumping in my car when I got home and returning to take some photos.

Tiny Door
Bannack, Montana
2018

This ragged sheet metal on the side of a building had what looked like a tiny door in the middle of it. Imagining it as a full-size door in my head played tricks with my visual perception of the actual scale of the scene.

Nail Abstract
Bannack, Montana
2018

I like the pattern of these bent nails–it is reminiscent of, or perhaps a deconstruction of, some old Chinese script character.

Even if you are old enough to remember Burma Shave advertising you still probably don’t truly appreciate the play-on-words in the title, but I couldn’t help myself.

School’s Out

A classic ghost-town view of one of Bannack’s most iconic buildings, the old school-house (with the Masonic Hall on the second floor).
