Objects May Appear

Objects May Appear was started in 2015 and ran through 2018. Many summer evenings after work I'd roam the city shooting just about everything, but having a priority of finding these distortions in car windows.

Out of all the exposures I made, it was the one directly below, the reflection in the Cadillac's hood, that struck me the most. When Jessica Angel saw the image she said to me, "This exploration has reached the next level."

That was the last pic I shot in the series.

Thinking about the feeling of finding and composing that last image, I realize now that one thing that hightened the experience was finding this reflection in the Caddy's hood rather than as I typically might in a car's windows. I think it was this departure that was most striking to me.

Thinking further still, I'm reminded of my excitement 2 weeks ago when shooting the fractured reflections in the Newschool's University Center windows. Discovering those stopped me and sucked me into exploring them for not a short amount of time. Seems this project could be reanimated in a new form.
