I like surface qualities and textures of things like wood, brick and stone. It is interesting finding contrasts between graphic surfaces. I also enjoy photographing two-dimensional surfaces like fronts of architectural structures that block the viewer from any deep visual space. I admire Walker Evans, Arthur Rothstein, Ben Shahn and Dorothea Lange’s pictures that depicted 1930’s American lifestyle. I recommend looking at examples of all of their work especially in today’s political climate.
