I'd like to present the idea of a personal landscape. When we leave the house we choose what to look at, this includes ignoring sites that may be typical or eyesores. Some places are so familiar that they fade in our view as we are engaged in a search for the new and exotic. Stephen Shore seemed to photograph those places and things that are oftentimes overlooked. The following is my own invisible landscape, a collection of places that I pass without seeing.
Great concept. It's brilliant and very well executed.
ReplyDeleteThese were very unattractive buildings but I liked the way they were presented. Good composition.
ReplyDeletei love the photos and i think you captured the new topographic idea well.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the pictures of the houses and buildings when they are taken from straight on. Very examining and interesting.
ReplyDeleteI really like the fourth one just because of the building. I think you did a good job capturing the aesthetic feel of New Topographics.
ReplyDeleteI love the green house. Along with the mountains, it seems almost majestic. that goes along with your idea of photographing the banal in order to elevate them. amazingly done!
ReplyDeleteI love your last photo - the way the shadow of the tree almost directly falls on the front door is a great comment on man choosing cheap structures over the earth.
ReplyDeleteGood concept. It's crazy, but i didn't even notice the mountains in the background of 3 4 and 5. It reminds me how much I've become blind to them cause i've seen them so much.
ReplyDeleteGood images and good theme. I like picture 2 best. The overhead perspective is interesting because it pulls you in. It also feels truly like the viewer is taken back in time while viewing it.
