Maury Gortemiller's Speed Queens & No Anthem

I found my way to Maury Gortemiller's website today and discovered a lot of intriguing new work. The images below, from Speed Queens and No Anthem, explore:

"the residues of human experience. The overlooked phenomena, the flotsam left behind can impart a wealth of information about individuals and cultural attitudes. My photographs maintain the physicality of ordinary, everyday objects while opening up their potential imaginative and conceptual meanings."
