Justin Beck @jhbphoto on his contributions to IN MEMORIAM. What’s your favorite pairing in the zine? “My favorite is still the Hewitt Wadena spread. It’s my favorite because they are two of the strongest images of the book and fit together geographically and are a good depiction of the decaying rural Minnesota towns.” Justin Beck. Hutchinson, MN. @jhbphoto My work examines the impermanence and death of a bygone era that many describe as the ‘American Dream’. It is an evolving photographic eulogy for the past. I am compelled to discover and document locations before they ultimately meet their demise. I have a kinship with the rural landscapes around me and it connects me to the land and history of Minnesota. The work offers modern audiences an escape to mourn the loss of our past and inspire future possibilities for our landscape. IN MEMORIAM : Backroads of the Midwest A collection of mid-west inspired work by four rural photographers spanning from Minnesota to Wisconsin to Illinois.
