Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

/*I began to use walks as an escape from reality and problems, to zone out. I believe it's my lack of interactions as well that leads me to walk, in search for something I both want and don’t. I desire connection but, it is bittersweet. More so, I find that connections eventually cause pain. Acting selfishly myself, I feed off others' connections, to fill the void I own. Tending to stay at distance, examining how the photographs exposes the bond displayed.
Harlingen AGRI

/*Harlingen AGRI came from the fascination I have with my home town, while exploring and photographing my hometown more and more, I couldn't help but see the strong influence that agriculture has in my town. It's something I always knew but never really cared to acknowledge. Agriculture is the biggest business and what Harlingen was built upon. On my way to school throughout my youth I would see these huge mills for cotton seeds and grain, it's hard to ignore, but I did. Living down here during the summer I wanted to take a closer look and explore these facilities. While doing so it almost felt wrong to enter. While shooting I acknowledge the barrier that is between me and these mills, I incorporated this into the images to create feelings of it being “off limits”. Though it felt wrong to enter, my interest to be inside and explore couldn’t be ignored.
Harlingen

/*Moving away from home for the first time takes a toll on anyone. It’s crazy, the cliché saying “You never know what you have till you don’t” is the best way I know to communicate my feelings about my home town. Not that I don’t like where I am physically or mentally currently, but it’s just a certain feeling, or mood I get into being in Harlingen, walking around shooting that will never be replicated. I’m not trying to document simply what or how Harlingen, Texas looks… These photos are exclusively from there, however I’m trying to express how it feels and what Harlingen means to me, how my mind and eye work together to capture this, and the joy it brings me being home.
