From the Artist:

In small towns, time can feel like it’s standing still when you’re coming of age. It can be especially difficult to discover your identity when you’re living in isolated, small-town Louisiana. These are photographs of those closest to me. We were up to nothing but in search of everything. 

The following gallery includes photographs selected from 2 different series; Louisiana and Virgins.
