Research Triangle Park, N.C.  In this black and white series, Raleigh-based photographer Greg Myhra explores the largely solitary nature of the desert—its unrelenting forces apparent in the time-worn building and sign surfaces as well as the local flora and geology. In many of the studies, medium format plastic cameras are used, their distorted optics enforcing the feeling of nostalgia and age particular to the subjects. Greg's images are printed with the highest quality archival pigment inks on a variety of fine art paper stocks. Prints are available as limited editions, which are titled, numbered, and signed by the artist.

A fine art and advertising photographer by vocation, Myhra has a natural and instinctive approach to producing both his commercial and personal work. He is a self-taught photographer who opted for a more personalized education in lieu of formal training. Recent exhibitions of his work have appeared across the South and Midwest, and his photographs have been in many publications, including Klik Showcase Photography and Graphis Photo Annual.
