In the years following her father’s death, she revisted important places to their relationship and photographed them. All the while she found a way to archive her tears. Below are an attempt to better understand the solitary side of photography, and in many ways grief. She realized these places were no longer important in the same way to someone else. She was the only one carrying the context for these landscapes. There was something comical about being emotionally connected to strip malls and foreclosed chain diners. She liked the idea of building invisible monuments to the mall milleu of Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley. She liked being cued into this other side of photography, the side that we all discover when we lose someone or something we love.
