The Why The sole purpose of this site is to introduce something to you that you might never have seen before. Ambiguously emotive scenes lacking a subject. Perspectives that escape the norm. Unique, fleeting moments downtown. Simply put, nothing exists here that is outside the vision of it's creator. In a modern world where we are all exposed to so many propositions and offerings for services and generally uninspiring shit, this site is meant to be viewed with none of that in mind. See in it what you want to see, and get out of it what you find to be interesting or special to you.
The Who Everything found here is the unfiltered work of Eric M. Gustafson. He currently resides in Austin, Texas, but has lived throughout the United States (to include Seattle, Florida, Indiana, Virginia & Texas) during his lifetime. He has worked some odd jobs to support his love of photography and currently does the day job thing as a graphic/interface designer.
The How To achieve his photographic results, Eric drives to various locations and explores on foot, armed with only his camera and sometimes a tripod. Nothing is ever pre-arranged. No lighting setup. No props. No actors. In questioning further about his process of creating and shooting both urban and rural environments throughout America, Canada and Japan, it can best be described by his own words:
"..When I find myself exploring and traversing areas unknown and new to me, armed only with my camera and a curious perspective, time slips away and I see things the way I feel they were always meant to be seen. I capture them. I take them afterwards and play with them. I get lost in them. To me it is an intimate process of projecting myself and my perspective onto the world, and the images that I produce as a result now exist as a very personal reflection of myself.."
The What For those curious here are the cameras used from 2002 to current.
