Waiting Out The Cows

This photo book reflects my childhood in rural Oregon, offering a glimpse into the quiet rhythms of a close-knit and often conservative community. The images capture the land and the resilience of those who call the land home.

The photographs intersperse a personal narrative, exploring the values and challenges of growing up in this setting. As I reflect on these memories, I examine the tension between tradition and change, and how this place has shaped who I am.

Through this work, I hope to convey the complexities of a life rooted in tradition, while also acknowledging the ways time and experience reshape our understanding of home.
