Photographs by Craig Hickman
Most of the pictures in “Someplace Else” were made within 70 miles of my house in Eugene Oregon, an area that seems plain to some33 and exotic to others. I want these pictures to occupy that wonderful space between document and opinion – the realm of selectively gathered facts. In the pictures I have emphasized its saturated quality of color and weather, and I focus on subjects that were created for one purpose but that, due to time, erosion and coincidence take on new visual meaning, often turning out to be more beautiful than when they were new.  As I search for pictures, I often come across configurations of objects and space that feel as if they were created for me to photograph. They can be poignant, sad, humorous, sometimes subtly bizarre.
