into the holding tank

There is no real way of disposing of these “forgotten tanks”. They sit in old depository waste sites slowly decomposing and probably adding toxic chemicals to the ground as this process takes place. Relics of what the future holds and the past cannot predict.

I’m often drawn to images of old things.  I’ve passed this oil field graveyard in West Texas many times and will probably continue to visit with camera in hand.  I’m not a photojournalist by nature, but something about this scene compels me to capture it for the sake or prosperity.

Often times as a photographer and an artist I feel that statements need to be made.  So what am I stating?  Anything?  Nothing?

Maybe I just find beauty in old things.  Maybe I find it ironic that the fruits of so many labors may end up being the downfall of human society.

These are the fruits of my labor.  It burdens me.
