Carey Quinton Haider was born in Portland, Oregon in 1984. At the age of three Carey’s family moved to the edge of a town named Boring, Oregon where his father ran a motorcycle repair shop. Carey’s years spent in the garage along with family elk hunting trips and travels in his grandparents Winnebago inspire the photography he shoots today. “I photograph what I think of as paradise. Those golden years of growing up where I had no worries and family members still talked to each other. Now that I look back I realize everyone was on meth. From the rural motels I passed spending summers on the road with my dad to my first motorcycle at 12 years old, it all has a place in my heart. When it all gets boiled down I really just appreciate a good camp fire story. I try and tell a narrative in my work.”
