Hello Babies.. Welcome to Earth!
   From our nearby star, rays of light shoot-out at 186,000 mi/s into space traveling roughly eight minutes until it enters the atmosphere of a stellar body that sits far enough not to be too hot nor too cold. The Goldilocks Zone is a name that scientists have given areas in space with the right mixture to support life. On Earth, humans have been coexisting, creating civilizations, adapting to the times, declaring ownership and war on that small amount of land for the estimated 300,000 years. During that short time, we have changed not just as a species, but also altered the landscape from its natural topography to this unique mixture of human and nature. This collection of images from various small towns exhibit the records of humans coexisting with-in that landscape or their own chosen Goldilocks Zone. These spaces convey how we live; our cultural backgrounds; and our relationship to the environment and to each other. In this way, our topography represents a record of human history while enduring the proof of our existence. As the camera shutter opens light rushes in at 186,000 mi/s flowing over the unexposed negative etching an image onto film documenting the town's story.
