Brian Sweeney
In Paradise Road Sweeney offers twelve takes on paradise, twelve sketches maybe, twelve angles - a calendar. The landscape is constantly changing, forever rolling by. His photographs are taken in the quick of work and travel. He's on the road to somewhere, which is the same as nowhere. The journey is the destination and sometimes that just feels like paradise.
