I LOVE LAMP: Light illuminates dark spaces in its most basic form. It also evokes feelings, changes moods, and creates a sense of time and place. It ties emotional layers to every environment because it is familiar. At its origins, photography means to paint with light. With light we can change the way we perceive, by projecting certain moods, or triggering specific memories. It can come into personal spaces, or possibly in objects that illuminate. In this project, I show that light goes beyond its practical means, and lamps can unexpectedly come to represent our favorite spaces and express our individualism through design elements. The lamps made by incorporating my photographs and then reshot in their originating location. Brighton Utah and my love for snow, Downtown SLC with a plant- sort of a craving for nature, and Moab, Arches Utah, the one place to get away from it all.
The lamp series concept has grown onto other projects as well. This is my interpretation on technology in today's world. When I'm needing a way, I drive to a point where I don't have service and it's just me, sometimes my camera. I couldn't imagine something like facebook overly distracting from that.

Sometimes we have failed lamps, this one of the salt flats, to try again later.
I love your lamp photos. :)
