About the Book
I have been documenting the city of Asheville, North Carolina since 2007. Over time, my process of capturing moments on the fly strayed from a photojournalistic approach to a more organic and, at times, whimsical interpretation of my encounters. In this collection of images, save for seeing the story evolve in real-time, there was no agenda to collect images that may or may not flow together cohesively. This is not a collection of editorial commentary or documentation of society as a whole—this is street photography! I want to take the ordinary and make it extraordinary. It is, by its very nature, a process grounded in synchronicity and unapologetic in how it presents past and current social trends.
