Pictures of the Disappearing
I have often thought of my pictures as in a long line of pictures of the disappearing. I see my landscape pictures within a line of exploration of the land. You could go back to the expedition pictures of the west from the likes of Jackson, the exploration of the wild landscape. Then we have the New Topographics, the exploration of mans effect on the landscape. Now we have my photographs and others like me, the exploration of natures effect on the manmade landscape. You see, ever changing, ever disappearing. What will appear in it’s place?
