Going back to the shadows...

Back when I was still impressionable, optimistic and idealistic, I came across a set of outdated Lord of The Rings calendars by The Hildebrandt Brothers. The paintings envisioned worlds I had only imagined, and the H-Bros became my new heroes.

After living with some version of Tolkien’s Lord of The Rings within my reach for most of my life, I now photograph action figures based on the movies, while thinking about the calendars I loved as a child and the books I consumed as a young man.

Whatever it was about the characters and the story that drew me in, way back then, still seems relevant today. And more urgent.
