Onward: Stills & Video
July 2010 marked the beginning of my new body of work. With a band of six pioneer figurines (forever pushing and pulling their handcarts) I explored a small portion of the original pioneer trail in Wyoming—starting at historic landmarks, but quickly encountering a contemporary western landscape as the trail turned into a highway. I continued following the path to Utah, shooting in Salt Lake City and my hometown of Provo.
These photographs were taken alongside the making of a video, Onward — view here.
