A Note on Old Machinery
Personal work, weathered surfaces, and the appeal of objects that still carry use.
Old machinery photographs well because it does not pretend to be new.
Every surface has evidence: sun, oil, weather, hands, repair, neglect, usefulness. It is the same thing I like in portraits and landscapes, really. A photograph gets more interesting when it carries time honestly.
Personal work gives me room to keep noticing that.
Personal documentary work like this keeps my eye tuned for texture, use, and time. Those same instincts shape how I photograph weddings, families, and couples across Alberta: with attention to what feels lived-in rather than polished flat.
