My favorites from Mr. Prior are these quiet, simple, and sunny spots, where the world still seems to be doing its own thing.

You can view the whole series (20 images) on my website, www.ShapesIndustries.com under the Photography tab.

Originally referred to as “Exotica Photo Tripping,” Anywhere But Here (Volume One) is a compilation of sorts, with each image selected for its adventurous appeal and elusive exact location.

When I go on photo trips, I’m usually drawn to places that feel foreign. Minnesota has a lot to pick from in this respect, but riverside and industrial parks are the best. 

Anywhere But Here is my answer to aimless shooting, for when I don’t feel like working on a project or I simply need to get out of the house, hence Volume One. There’ll be more of this to come.

I’ve managed to get out on a few more photo trips than usual, it’s warming up a bit in Minnesota.  Kurt Manley is a good wanderer, I’d love to take pictures with him someday.    

I have this security jacket I’ve been wearing, and I’m slowly beginning to realize its power.  I’ll wander around in areas that I’m very familiar with, but the jacket allows me to do so at a much more leisurely pace.  Truck yards, empty warehouses, parking lots, it’s one of my new favorite costume pieces for looking like I belong.

Some real fine industrial, nighttime, and city shots, with that curious, cool white balance that shows up more often than not.  Solid colors and contrast from a seasoned traveler.

Get Carter is a man who’s photography is both impeccably detailed and forgiving, as it is dramatic and stunning.
