LA. Jan 2020
What may seem at first to be a simple run of the mill image from my vehicular Landscape series is in fact something which has taken me over a year to produce.
The devastating Woolsey fire in November 2019 was a horrendous event made only worse by the onslaught of idiots and media whores trying to snap a celebrity returning to their burnt down house somewhere in Malibu. As a place we frequented every weekday it was both shocking and sad and took sometime before we made that first trip through the burnt hills and witness the full scale and devastation the fires left behind.
The image above represents one of the last (thankfully) remaining reminders of the fires that year. As the charred land renewed itself the burnt out car became rust and left the question, what happened here?

Sometimes I need to remind myself  that a photograph should always ask a question..
