PROJECTS

Work that is measured in years, not afternoons.

A project is what happens when you keep returning to the same subject long enough for it to teach you something. These are the bodies of work still in progress.

PROJECT 1

The Prairie and the Herd

TALLGRASS COUNTRY, KANSAS & OKLAHOMA

Rolling grassland, free-ranging bison, and sunrises that arrive before anyone else does. An ongoing record of one of the last places in America where the prairie still behaves like a prairie.



THE LONG PROJECT

The 105 County Project

Kansas has 105 counties. One at a time — the backroads, the barns still standing, the wildlife, and the night sky above each one. A county joins the archive only when there is a photograph and a story to go with it.

PROJECT 3

Windows of Time

BARNS, SCHOOLHOUSES & HISTORIC PLACES

Weathered wood, empty doorways, and buildings that outlasted the people who raised them. Photographed before the plains finish reclaiming them.


PROJECT 4

Beneath the Stars

NIGHTSCAPES OF THE PLAINS

Long waits in the dark beside chapels, waterfalls, and old machinery — waiting for the Milky Way to line up with something that has a story.

PROJECT 2

Migration Seasons

PLATTE RIVER, LOESS BLUFFS & BEYOND

Sandhill cranes in pastel evening light. Bald eagles over frozen marsh. The same routes, followed year after year, by birds and by a photographer keeping notes.
