Lovepoint in Lovepoint, Maryland, USA
“Lovepoint” was taken an hour outside of Baltimore, in Lovepoint, Maryland. A few companions of mine searched for an isolated farm land to go out and shoot a film on and ended up with this location – we all drove out later that day. This spot is eerie, reeks of dried out corn stalks, has a breeze coming in from the bay, and being that it is such an open space – it feels as if the neighbors are watching you closely from afar – ready to send their dogs out should you overstay your thin welcome. The abandoned home pictured sits on the end of a tree lined dirt road off the two lane main (and only) street. The home can be wandered into, but it is filled with banana crates and a black creature lurks in the attic.

Can you sum up Baltimore? Baltimore is a vomit of contrastive people living within the same few square miles. The convergence of these different backgrounds, interests, styles, and views pushes Baltimore forward in the realm of visual, musical, architectural, and communal exploration – and no one here is shy about letting you know it. Baltimore is incredibly alive with activity – there’s always an exhibition to see, a museum to visit, a show to attend, kids to catch up with, new spots to find, new projects being brewed.
