Fred’s Journey
Verviers Belgium
I was billeted for the night in a house overlooking this church. The mistress of the house gave me her son’s room. He was a slave laborer in Germany. It was a strange feeling, seeing his photographs, favorite books and athletic gear stacked on shelves. Would he ever return?

From
In this narrative, Fred again captured the awkwardness, at times, of his interactions with French townspeople, and the poignancy of their individual situations. In this childlike composition I try to capture how we as individuals can be swallowed up by circumstances, and manipulated like puppets by outside forces.
