Hi Shawn,

One cannot help, but be struck by the clinical precession of your imagery, as if they have been taken from a window to some computer generated elevation view of an architectural plan. There's no evidence of human passage through these picture: no people, no shadows and no litter! I'm interested in this theme. It will show a location in a dispassionate way, and maybe that's more honest and less delusional than the romantic views we formulate.

We need more! :)

It is funny. A lot of times I do focus on that which we leave behind, but in a sort of sterile way it is void of humanity. There is a sense of isolation, as if one day human beings just got up and left, leaving behind only little remnants.

Most everything I do illustrates human beings and our interaction with our environment. I'm interested in ecology - but not so much in people.

Though not everything is always so overtly sterile. You can't look at this image and wonder who left it behind; but still, for me it's more about the fact it was left behind that interests me:

Likewise in this similar image our attempts to cover up the presence of others:

Shawn Kearney: The Threats

Though I agree. The overt sterility of the first two images is interesting.
