A photograph is an instrument of love and revelation that must see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live in all things. Ansel Adams

Manufactured Living

The assignment is "manufactured landscapes"
I sat and thought about it for a long time, and decided that basically all of Boise is a manufactured landscape, and that I didn't really want to photograph any of Boise for the assignment, but couldn't think of anything I really did want to photograph. About that time my dwarf hamster Stella popped into her wheel and started running. And it made me think: her entire life is manufactured. She will never know anything but her cage and the things I give her. And it was perfect for the assignment.
