What Mankind Left Behind Gallery One

This gallery is comprised of a self-project entitled "What Mankind Left Behind" -- an artistic look at some of the junk left lying around in Eastern Kentucky. This project is unique because Kentucky is one of the few places where people just leave their belongings behind. Many of the objects that I have photographed since 1992 were simply left in the woods. My self-imposed rules for this project are simple; the item has to have been useful and or part of someone's livilihood at some point in time. And, I don't shoot anything that has been referbished. I like to shoot it in it's original state. The first four photographs of this gallery are of my grandfather, Hersey Tojo Webb, who loved to trade junk, and who was an inspiration to my vision as a photographer.
