As time goes on, I find it harder to photograph Omaha, my home, than just about anywhere else. It reminds me of something David Byrne says towards the end of his eccentric Texas film True Stories.
“I really enjoy forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people walk. Doorknobs. Everything. Then I get used to the place and I don’t notice those things anymore. So only by forgetting can I see the place again as it really is.”
