About the Work:

For the past 17 years, my work has centered on historic preservation: landscape, architecture and culture of the sea islands. The natural beauty and integrity of South Carolina’s Lowcountry—or coastal region—is facing the inevitable waves of change that accompany development. Especially fragile is the environmental balance between increased human density and the impact that it has on our rich cultural and natural heritage. In an effort to document the spirit of place I have collected a series of images that now form an elegy. Still, my hope is that the ongoing direction of change can happen with a deep respect and reverence for our unique surroundings that will produce a legacy—a rich inheritance for future generations.
