suburbaphobia started as an archival project attempting to preserve the anxiety of the american suburb. what began as an outsider photography project revolving around blurred, high-iso photographs transformed with the acquisition of an olympus stylus dlx and major life changes. it is now a wholly personal account of the summers i spend in my hometown of maplewood, new jersey. suburbaphobia "v2.0" is a collection of faceless (most often flash) photographs trying to paint a picture of the melancholy, anxious, and human american suburb.
below are some photographs from before the meaning of the suburbaphobia project had changed. it is possible that one day the original suburbaphobia will begin again, probably under a new name.
