About the photographer: Dana Curran is a 23-year-old from Columbus, Ohio. He started teaching himself photography while living in Alaska 3 or 4 years ago. Given that Ohio’s landscape can be slightly less stunning than Alaska’s, Dana now focuses most of his work on urban settings and band photography. He uses a Canon 5D Mark II camera with a variety of different lenses. To see more of his amazing work, check out his website, Dirty Little City.
