Photographer Marlo Kovach (www.marlokovach.com) quotes Henry Thoreau in saying: “It is easier to discover another such a new world as Columbus did, than to go within one fold of this which we appear to know so well; … and still history accumulates like a rubbish before the portals of nature. But there is only necessary a moment’s sanity and sound senses, to teach us that there is a nature behind the ordinary…”

Kovach's work very much focuses on this statement; the generality of a place and how that place is subject to change while projecting a false perception of time. He states, visiting new places that remind him of his own past enables that past and the new place to become one. Furthermore he says, "It is not my intention to push my past or my history on the viewer. My hope is that these images become triggers for the viewer to flash if only for an instant back to another time, place or moment in their own history."
