Abstract
I want to explore our usage of landscape and space and how day and night is handled in this. I am particularly interested in how residential spaces, highways, and freeways are adressed. The focus of thought is the abstractions created through sunlight or artificial lighting at night, and the architecture and designs we use to utilize spaces. This is a way for me to find closure in past work I done as well as make the connection that I have been struggling to understand between myself, the land, others, and natural forces.

Thesis Abstract?
I would like to photograph images at night of residential areas and hopefully incorporate breaking out of the residential realm. These images are meant to convey a moment of realization or clarity when exploring at night. That process is not something I aim to expose to the viewer. Instead a dynamic resultant image is all that I want seen. This moment is the same one you can experience when music suddenly makes sense or in certain frames of Alfred Hitchcock movies, or any other moment of wonder.
