In a collection of photos mostly devoid of people, the question inevitably gets asked: where are all of the people in this town?

I would walk by people on the street occasionally as I was working on this project, but I generally thought of Wendover as a particularly quiet town--especially as the project was shot during the COVID era. While the casino parking lots were usually fairly full, nothing prepared me for how busy and crowded the casinos were. There were people at nearly every machine, cigarette smoke permanently scenting the air. The call of the casinos was heard loud and clear.

"Where the West Begins!"

WENDOVER is Oliver Dahl's second published photographic exploration of a small town, a sequel to the series debut, ARCO. The book (and accompanying NFT collection) features a combination of digital and analog photography, paired with stories and history from this town in the Great Salt Lake Desert. From gambling and speed racing to scuba diving and bombing ranges, Wendover is much more than just a sleepy city by the salt flats.

This photo series is the result of 5 different dedicated trips throughout the last year in each of the four seasons. It explores the effects of connection and separation that result from borders and distance, while crafting an honest, raw, and liminal depiction of the gambling town "oasis" of Wendover.

Initial collectors will be sent signed copies of the physical book upon release.

Additional copies can be purchased at www.oliverdahl.com/wendover.
