Brian Seek grew up in the 90s in a very desolate, lonely corner of the Arizona desert. He finds that there is something familiar and comforting in the buzzing sounds of florescent and neon lights when all else is quiet. It invites memories of the sleepy desert towns of his youth. These are the things that he is drawn to in photography: the buildings and objects worn down by human presence, at night when they can rest without being disturbed. Brian finds that the slow and quiet experience of making long exposures at night is mirrored by the solitude spent in the darkroom printing under a similar buzzing light.
