In 2006 I began photographing war machines all over the country, and eventually started a portfolio devoted specifically to weapons of mass destruction. There was something elemental, even existential, about the interaction I had with these inanimate objects through my camera lens. Perhaps my imagination projected more meaning on to these objects than was there, but my instinct was that I was experiencing something very fundamental to human nature. If this was true of the conventional war machines, then it was true in spades for the weapons of mass destruction.
