The Hidden Stories Inside our Public Infrastructure

Photographer Adam Davies turns his high-resolution film camera onto the large scale structures of everyday life — like our built environment of bridges, roads, and railroads — to discover anthropological artifacts and stories that often go unnoticed. By going places few actually see and framing them in a detailed and thoughtful way, Davies' gorgeous photographs can help us understand ourselves and our place in time and space more deeply.
