A personal favorite. An abandoned homestead (farm) on the road to my aunt's cabin in Colorado. I had shot it on many prior occasions however, I never had the right sky in the background to provide the depth needed. I just happened to be staying at my aunt's cabin over a spring break vacation weekend when a huge storm was entering Southern Colorado overnight. I left the cabin early the next morning and made the journey to the abandon farm. The clouds and the storm were tremendous however, I had no sunlight to speak of. I set my camera up and waited. Two hours later the sun finally showed itself for a few moments and I was ready. Patience paid off.

Artist Statement

In expressing the narrative of “The Western Abandon” Cody Brothers concentrates his focus on abandoned farms, crumbling homes, neglected churches, aging cemeteries, forgotten cars and other objects, set within the vastness of the southwestern landscape. He works almost entirely with infrared film, using a range of different cameras, from a 4x5, a 6x17 panoramic, to a pinhole.
