I supplement my research and written work with visual representations of my ethnographic experience.
My photos accompany the pages of this website, my articles, and my emerging book manuscript. My photo essay "The Material Politics of Lead" won the annual photography contest of the Social Science Research Council in 2012. You can view the photographs here, but I will soon provide a version of the essay below with captions.
In 2019 I participated in UC Irvine's Center for Ethnography's "Visualizing Toxic Subjects." This collaborative online platform of co-thinking, critique, and imagining led to an exhibition of photo essay artifacts. I decided to use the occasion to play and think with stills from my film "The Lead Zone" (see film page), resulting in my artifact, "Lead Dust Storms" (see below and open in new page to enlarge). In 2020, while in residence at UCI, I am partaking in the follow-up "Visualizing Toxic Subjects."
