THE SPILLWAY
Morgan Hill, California. When the Anderson Spillway isn’t rushing with the lake's overflow from the winter rains, it's a landscape of release from the pressures of adolescence for a group of teenagers on the verge of independence. I shot the Spillway series the day after this band of brothers graduated from high school. I could sense the pride of their achievement, the excitement of their newfound freedom as independent adults, and the dawning yet unspoken realization that today might be one of the last adventures they'd share on the Spillway.
