This series of images reflect a longtime fascination with man-made landscapes referred to in my portfolio as “structures in space”.

The subjects include aging power plants, once indispensable but now antiquated water storage tanks, abandoned factories that have been victims of outsourcing, theme park venues replaced by commercial development (or earmarked for the wrecking ball), and solar energy windmills from the remote farmlands of central Germany.

As individual photographs, they can also function as metaphors for a myriad of human experiences including a sense of abandonment and isolation.
