Man and Nature

Many New Topographics photographs, particularly those of Lewis Baltz, emphasize form and geometry in their depictions of man's interactions with the land. I chose to follow this strictly aesthetic approach. I specifically tried to avoid any possible significance, and focus merely on the visual characteristics of humanity's fingerprint.

  3. The colors are amazing, but whatever is on the green trash can looks a little disgusting.

  4. I really like the micro focus of your images. It forces the viewer to look at objects more critically. Nice work!

  6. I like that yours is close, and thus different than most of ours since they are more open views.

  7. I love the colors, the symmetry and the ambiguity. It's really cool. Although the last image is kind of distracting from the rest of the photos because of the different viewpoint.

  13. Urban decay and strong geometry are very compelling, I like the amount of texture you were able to bring out.
