American photographer Jared Michael Ritz lives in a small city called Havre, located in Montana, or Treasure State. Ritz, aged 29, goes out and about shooting an incredible amount of analogue images. In his photographs he puts the focus on his friends, his cats, and the beautiful nature surrounding his hometown.

In addition, funny recurring themes are shadows, strange compositions and hints of American patriotism. His colorblindness might be the reason Ritz prefers to shoot in black and white, although he experiments with photographing in color every now and then.
