The photo series follows the misadventures of a young boy and girl who belong to a fictional organization – the Boys and Girls Owl Scouts of America, or Owl Scouts. In the series, the children are lost deep in the woods and are faced with several challenges: an owl burrow, a river, a tornado, and a bear. Each challenge is met with failure and ultimately the demise of the two scouts.
I began this series three years ago, around the time of my divorce. College sweethearts, we’d
married young and had many adventures together, but, ultimately, it didn’t work, and we divorced after seven years of marriage. The story behind the Owl Scouts is a failing couple’s inability to successfully navigate life’s challenges together,
ultimately leading to the end of the relationship.
