This image is part of a body of work called: All I’ve Sung and Have Yet to Sing
"For forty years I’ve photographed habitually in the pursuit of honoring the people, and places of my life. I explore the existential precariousness of the landscape, and the sublime dimensions reached through portraiture. I often treat portraiture as still life and personify landscapes. To me they are equals in storytelling power." Michael Tittel
This work is part of an extended visual poem representing the more visceral moments between people and places in the Midwest. Like music, these photographs celebrate the mystery and wonder of shared experiences. Without the visual grandeur of a place like the American desert or the northern latitudes of Iceland, the camera must evoke drama in other ways.
