Ships Passing In The Night - Chris Atwood

These photographs represent a culmination of 4 or 5 years spent skateboarding, traveling, working on a BFA, and generally lurking it up. Beneath the surface of normal human interaction lies a more basic sort of reality in which people allow themselves let their guard down and becomes a transparency of their thoughts and feelings. These images explore the relationships between photographer and subject, the nature of celebrity, what is dismissed as ordinary and regarded as surreal.

A pictorial history of both the intimate and iconic moments of everyday life, Hamburger Eyes is a travel journal, a personal diary, and a family album. Inspired by the traditions that began with Life magazine and Robert Frank, the magazine revitalizes the sensation of photography as a craft as well as a tool to record and document.
