The SOMEWHERE, NOWHERE, U.S.A. Project

If you’d ask someone the first city they can think of in the U.S.A., they probably wouldn’t say Hampton Bays, NY (my parents live there). They might say New York, L.A. or maybe even Paris if they’re trying to be a Wim Wenders/Sam Shepard smart aleck. But whether it’s a buzzing metropolis or a town where the most exciting event is the new Stop & Shop opening, all American cities have more in common than you’d think. One’s skyscrapers might be one’s marinas. One’s farmland might be one’s Sweetgreen. One person’s skyscrapers are another’s marinas. One’s farmland is another’s Sweetgreen. What seems like nowhere to you might be someone else’s somewhere. This is an ongoing project.

TL;DR: I’m working on a photography project about America’s geopolitical biases—or at least, I’m pretending to. And no, the title has nothing to do with that nightclub in NYC.
