Kansas City Zombie Walk For Hunger

On Saturday I had the pleasure of attending the Kansas City Zombie Walk. The Kansas City Zombie Walk for Hunger is in its forth year and has helped many people in the Kansas City Metropolitan Community who suffer from hunger or homelessness. I did not 'go zombie' myself, but I showed my support and made several photographs which they are more than welcome use to publicize their events.

These are some of the photographs I made that day. Eventually they will be edited then used as a kind of punctuation for a series I am working on with Pogo Books, a publisher and gallery based in Berlin, who have kindly invited me to make a book of my American pictures with them which is presently being slowly edited under the title 'Resident Alien'.

Welcome

I arrived in America when the recession was beginning to bite. It was an election year and both discontent and a need for change was in the air. Gas prices were rising steeply, the housing market was in crisis, businesses were on the brink of closing and the future for many people was looking uncertain.

These images, dreams, poems and other scattered writings have been gathered together here from several road trips I made during this time (and still making) and could be described as a collection of psychic co-ordinate points which I have plotted between the imagined America that I brought with me from England and the real America which I found on my arrival in 08.

This blog is a search, a kind of personal orientation between the dream or idea of a place and my actual experience of it in reality. It is both half truth and half fiction. A ‘mental geography’ filled with personal symbolism and tangled with influences I often did not know were there until I started writing and photographing them.

It is a journey which explores the destination.
