it’s all in the details

It’s All in the Details focuses on the often-overlooked components that make railroads remarkable. Through close-up and detail-oriented photography, I explore the textures, forms, and craftsmanship of tracks, hardware, signals, and rolling stock. These images highlight the beauty found in the small elements that enable the larger network to function—rusted bolts, weathered ties, and the intricate mechanics of trains themselves. By isolating and emphasizing these details, the work invites viewers to slow down, observe, and appreciate the artistry embedded in industrial design. It’s All in the Details celebrates the quiet elegance of the railroad, showing that even in the smallest components, there is narrative, history, and a unique visual character that connects the human and mechanical aspects of railroading.
