Kyle's Downton Normal Loft



Kyle's loft is located in what is now called "Uptown Normal". (Growing up in Bloomington/Normal, I can't bring myself to adjust to calling it "Uptown").

I was thinking of branching off this shoot and incorporating it into an entirely different body of work. For a while now, I've been thinking about photographing the inside of "collectors" spaces and documenting them and their collections.


As far as Kyle's collections go, he has a collection of records, VHS tapes and Music tapes.


What first drew me to Kyle's home, was amount of personal touches he put into his space. Each and every one of the items in his home are unique. It's a lot to take in!


Speaking of a lot to take in, here (below) is a remnant of what use to be an entire wall of Jesus Memorabilia. 

He uses the walls in his living room to showcase multiple young artists work.
