    Photographer Scott Dalton brings a visual reality to two cities, co-joined by a bridge, economic and historical connections. Brought to light in the news and in the television show, The Bridge, Juárez and El Paso are not cities of equals–they may share a border, but not a quality of life. His well-seen project, Where the River Bends, explores the realities of life on both sides of the bridge and makes us examine the idea of boundaries and borders. As Scott states, “I am also interested in the idea of the proximity and possibility of the American Dream and what that means to people on both sides of the border”.

    As a photographer I am interested in the often-fragile relationship between people and the places they live, in how individuals, environment, and history combine to create a region with its own culture. In my project ‘So Close, So Far: Daily Life and Cartel Violence in Ciudad Juarez’, I am exploring these ideas through images of daily life in a place where the drug war calls the very concept of “daily life” into question.  Combining environmental portraits and documentary reportage, I hope to document this tragic and historic time in the life of this city, when cartel violence forges an uncertain new reality.
