PROJECTS | The angle of a landscape

PROJECTS | The angle of a landscape

The photographs in this project were the first body of work I made with a medium format film camera.  After an extended trip to National Parks photographing people at leisure in those grand spaces, it was time for a change.  The environment was no longer a setting, but became my primary focus. This new path, a more contemplative and deliberate one, looked at the changes in the landscape wrought by contemporary life as well as the hand of nature.  
This work represented my first serious consideration of landscape.  In these early photographs, made between 1982 and 1986, I can see hallmarks of my current work - and that desire for nature to prevail.
