Diane is a photographer from Texas currently based in Louisville, Kentucky.
Modern Ruins is an ongoing series which documents abandoned historic architecture in the Eastern United States. These images are a meditation on preservation, historical aesthetics and the relationship between social change and our built environments. The majority of these photographs were made with medium format film using vintage twin-lens reflex cameras.
Night Work also features medium format film photography.
Panoramics include images made with either a Holga Wide Angle pinhole or a Widelux F7.
