"Between the months of January and April of 2017, I roamed Texas sporadically with my old Speed Graphic 4 x 5 camera for what turned out to be twenty-five days and roughly 5000 miles. I'd moved to Texas just two years prior and thought it only made sense to see more of the big state than I'd seen before as a visiting photographer. And so, I did. Up into the Panhandle, a bit east, central, south, and West Texas. 111 of the 298 exposures I made would end up being printed in the 2018 book "A Plain View.' But no matter how many miles and real estate I'd covered on those travels, I never thought to make it far enough south to meet Galveston. And then, perhaps ironically, the Galveston Historical Foundation contacted me in May of 2020 to see if I might like to extend my Texas series by making photographs in Galveston. I was happy to accept the offer, as perhaps the whole of my Texas story had yet to be completed. And so that November I drove my car from Los Angeles, where I was living once more, to Galveston with my cameras, in the passenger seat my friend and fellow photographer Raymond Molinar who would assist me in my efforts to document as strange and beautiful a land as I'd ever seen while also making not only behind-the-scenes photographs of my process but his own photographs of this remarkably standstill place. And the payoff of the experience is not just that I've now seen more of Texas than I ever thought I would but that this new book would stand as my favorite thus far, if not an extension of the mainland Texas photographs before it."
