“I enter these sites without any prior knowledge of what the terrain will hold for me. Making these images is an act of discovery, rather than capture or containment. Often I am searching, not necessarily for order, but for something tangible in the mess of abstraction.”

- from an interview with Justin James Reed, up on the gallery site.

A selection from the fantastic “This Train Is Bound For Glory” by Justine Kurland, who gave a lecture on the work at the Columbia College photography department in Chicago in November last year.
