When Jeff Evans discovered that his job as a rocket scientist wasn’t as exciting as he thought it was going to be, he took photography classes as a creative outlet. Soon he was going to photo exhibits and collecting hundreds of photo books to learn more. But he found the best way of learning was taking lots of pictures, lots and lots of pictures.
When he moved from the spectacular – and spectacularly expensive — scenery of northern California to the flat, boring farmland of central Illinois, he was at a loss as to what to photograph. However, managers at various jobs had inadvertently given him an appreciation of the absurd and debugging software had taught him to notice things that were out of place or unusual. He combines these characteristics in his photos of everyday things that appear normal at first glance, but are out of the ordinary and absurd.
He has shown his photos in Britain, Germany, Italy and throughout the US.
