My intention with this project was to rephotograph the world itself.

While making these pictures, I realized that vernacular photographs, or even stock photographs, often times have a certain set of conventions. There are things a good picture of a dog must have. The dog should look either adorable or noble. A good picture of paradise should have palm trees or a setting sun over a landscape or better yet, it would have both. I tried to shape my experiences around these conventions, so if I’m going to paradise to take pictures it should involve some palm trees.
