About the Work

The Amtrak train has always been my favorite way to travel from Boston to New York.  When the roads are impassable in a winter storm, the train cuts through the snow to its destination and delivers me to my family and friends.  At 110 mph, the Regional train races past the coastline of Rhode Island and Connecticut revealing a vast array of diverse landscapes from coastal marshes and inlets to small communities and backyards to abandoned buildings and property.

For the past several months, I have been making photographs of what I see from the raised perspective of my window seat that I later link together into series of small “journeys”.  I am now curious to know more about the often ignored and hard to access places that I am able to see as a passenger on the train.
