LOST AMERICA

'Lost America' examines a quiet stillness in a forgotten landscape that is, in a sense, ‘on pause.’ Backwater towns and rural corners are juxtaposed with the ambiguity of detached suburbia. Places appear frozen in time, their inhabitants absent or long since departed. Ardently stagnant in appearance, the spaces yearn to instill a melancholic feeling of familiarity. One might not notice the scenes when viewed within the vast stretch of America’s panorama. Yet, framed as a vignette, each could appear to echo a moment of mournful reverie and reflective contemplation.

I remember going here when I was a little boy. It was a single screen back then. A VERY long time ago.

That's MN after the apocalypse maybe. This is typical of today's society. You don't need to be correct about anything you say. You can just make assumptions and hope no one notices.

I can assure you that Baptist churches are still doing very well on church days.
