Alec Soth - Kenz

Alec Soth is an American photographer notable for "large-scale American projects" featuring the midwestern United States.  His photography has a cinematic feel with elements of folklore that hint at a story behind the image. I chose him because he is from Minneapolis, Minnesota which is where I am from. A quote from him is  "I fell in love with the process of taking pictures, with wandering around finding things. To me it feels like a kind of performance. The picture is a document of that performance." I chose this picture because it reminds me of northern Minnesota in the winter time.
