Traveling to American cities such as Tampa, Newark, and Reno is just a few clicks away in the 21st century. Virtually strolling through the aging urban infrastructure of this country has inspired my current work. I have never stepped foot in Gary, Indiana but I know Michael Jackson was born there, its the home of at least one motel that charges by the hour, and proof that, in the right light, gritty can be pretty.
