Affinities: Photographs by Timothy Hearsum
Timothy Hearsum sees the world around him from the perspective of a visual anthropologist as well as a photographer. His many travels along the back roads, side streets, and alleyways inform much of the visual language portrayed in this collection of photographs. Affinities is a multilayered exploration of the similarities as well as the contrasts he finds in his subjects.
