Casey Dunn is a sixth generation Texan and based in Austin. He’s an architectural photographer whose personal series, Hoop Dreams, goes way back into his childhood dreams while photographing the abandoned hoops and rims on his journeys.
Casey Dunn explains, “When I was 8 years old my dad came home with a fiber glass basketball goal and put it up in our backyard. After a couple of hours of grunting and swearing he tossed me a ball and said ‘shoot with your wrist‘ and walked inside. I spent hundreds of hours out there over the next ten years avoiding family functions and shooting hoops on that rim. I usually spent less time working on my game and more time daydreaming. Shooting hoops has always been my escape. As I started to travel a bit more, I started to notice more and more back yard goals that had fallen into disrepair the same way my childhood rim had. I loved the idea that some other kid had spent countless hours dreaming while shooting baskets the same way I did. This series is a collection of their basketball goals.” ❚
