This series has been kicking around in my head for a while.  I took a while getting around to it. I have had more time to work on personal projects, so I decided it was time to get after it.  I had some technical issues to figure out and now I have a system for shooting them.  I don’t want this post to be about technique.

What I would like to talk about is the purpose and my trajectory for this project.  I am interested in the  garage as a multipurpose, utilitarian space.  By design, a garage is for storing vehicles, but most people have secondary purposes for their garage.  Sometimes this secondary purpose overrides this garages primary function.  I am looking to document garages in a uniform and clear manner.  I am looking for variety and similarities.  They will be shot in a consistent manner with consistent lighting and cropping.   I have limited the project to 2 car garages because they fit the rectangular landscape orientation and they also present an interesting limitation for the owner of the garage.  I am looking to expand upon my preliminary images, and ultimately I will push this project towards exhibition and/or publication.

I am currently shooting garages in the Madison, Dane County area.  I am putting preference on garages in my immediate area, although I will gladly venture further from home for exceptional specimens.  If you have of know of an interesting 2 car garage, please drop me a line via my contact page.
