    Artist's Statement:
    "I photograph musicians who are practitioners of traditional American music using a tintype process, a process from the mid-1800s, which utilizes an on-site darkroom and an antiquated camera which has been outfitted for the process. The tin is hand-coated and sensitized, exposed and developed on-site. My travelling darkroom is located in the trunk of my car. Parked within earshot of the musicians, my darkroom resonates with song. A lonesome banjo floats along the breeze, carrying with it the echoes of early America.”
