My friend Mel takes a break from "demo" work at a house on East Main that is undergoing a fairly substantial makeover. Mel works for contractor John Jensen, who has done a number of remodels like this one. Over the years there's been a gradual transformation of older dwellings being purchased and rehabbed, a trend that has slowed with the downturn in the economy.
Ashland, Oregon is a town of 21,000 that has a lot in common with other small towns across America. It also has qualities that make it truly unique. Home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Southern Oregon University, people from various backgrounds and places have chosen to call Ashland home. As a photographer, I thought it would be a worthwhile project to document the varied aspects of Life in Ashland.
