These images are from an ongoing project that I have been shooting on the streets of Minneapolis since the beginning of 2003. They were shot digitally. Archival Giclee prints were made using acid free, one hundred percent rag paper.

In many ways this personal project is a direct reaction to the commercial work that I have been shooting for over a decade, work that pays close attention to the details that make up the appearance and personality of individual subjects.

In this project, those details have been reduced to elements of color, form, motion and mood through selective focus and blur. Individual identities are lost, but a human element still remains. This element interacts with generalizations and assumptions that people make about one another as they pass everyday on the street--a human element that is more easily open for interpretation through the viewers own personal experiences.
