    • Thank you. I traveled to Manzanar to take photos at dusk and dawn. I’m try to portray the isolation and primitiveness of the remaining Japanese internment camp. There will be more images to follow.

  3. I feel as if I’m standing right on the road. I love how it works – the shadowed landscape with the splash of light on the mountains. Such a desolate, yet beautiful, place, though as you say, not one the displaced Japanese were in any position to appreciate. I look forward to the rest of your photos, Tim!

  4. Tim, what a wonderful photograph. I have read books about Manzanar and seen movies about it. I like your image best, maybe because it doesn’t contrive the story for me. And so in reply to Chelsea’s comment above you made that great connection about how the cold would be unpleasant for the interns. I had never thought about that.

    I was impressed that you didn’t choose to show a photograph of the camp, but instead one of the road leading away, the road all those interns probably looked at every day as they wondered how paranoia had imprisoned them in that place and whether they would ever walk that road to freedom.

    I really like this.

    • Dave,
      Thank you so much for your involvement in this discussion. Yes, on the road. I wanted to start this series with an image of isolation. It is nice to know that I’ve accomplished this in some degree.
      Best,
      Tim
