Abandoned cars are time capsules offering glimpses of history, artifacts, and insights to private worlds, along with gorgeous textures, colours, shapes, and rust. My hope is that viewers are drawn in by the image, to wonder about the story behind it, and think about the rich history of cars in our culture and the world. Cars do not decompose quickly. The metal frames sit for decades, slowly rusting, as trees and plants grow around, through, and inside them. I have fond memories of a friend's car, very similar to this one. It was an old clunker when we drove around in it during our teens. She was a very enthusiastic person, and could be vigorous in her gestures and movements. One day the turn signal came off in her hand. We laughed so hard I thought we would crash. Cars are a big part of our memories, popular culture, status symbols, desires, security, convenience, and dependable transportation. As much as we love them and need them, cars leave a huge carbon footprint on our precious world. Photography has been a passion of mine since age 7 when a neighbour gave me an old Brownie pinhole camera. I continue to love the magic and beauty of the world seen through a lens. I aim to capture the atmosphere, feelings, and beauty of a place in a way that is both realistic and personal – being a true record of the place yet full of feeling and atmosphere.

Valerie was raised in Vancouver, lived many years in Toronto, and currently resides in Victoria, BC. She loves high heels and hiking boots, the culture in large cities and the spiritual connection of the natural world. Valerie is drawn to photograph urban street scenes, abandoned buildings and vehicles, and our beautiful natural world. How we balance the two dichotomies (or not) is her focus -- how can we live in a rewarding way that also respects and preserves our disappearing natural world.
