In 2005, I set out to photograph my home state of South Dakota, a sparsely populated frontier state on the Great Plains with more buffalo, pronghorn, coyotes, mule deer, and prairie dogs than people. It's a land of powwows and rodeos, a corn palace and a buffalo roundup; a harsh and beautiful landscape dominated by space and silence and solitude, by brutal wind and extreme weather; a former Wild West territory where European and Lakota peoples clashed, where cultural tensions still linger; a landscape littered with the broken and the abandoned; a place I'd learned to love in all its complexity. The next year, my brother, Dave, died unexpectedly of heart failure. For months, one of the few things that eased my unsettled heart was the landscape of South Dakota. It seemed all I could do was drive and photograph. I began to wonder - does loss have its own geography?
