Kyle Thompson, Untitled, (Flames in the Forest)

Kyle Thompson is a photographer currently based in Portland, Oregon. His original work can be found at his website. His new phonebook entitled “Sinking Ship” is now available. The images in the book were photographed in abandoned towns in the American grasslands. He would briefly visit these ghost towns, living thee alone briefly, wearing the clothes left in the closets, and taking self-portraits in sets built from items found at the scene. Thompson used himself as a vessel to portray the past residents through their belongings and their environment.
