FROM OUR BLOG / Nasher student intern Kristie Landing writes, "Rather than movie-stars on red carpets, Burk Uzzle documents the 'ordinary' Americans that escape media attention, often in ironic ways. His photographs are a celebration of American weirdness; an unmasking of the idealism in our country to expose a fantastical landscape of scrap metal and jarred squirrels."
