New Topographics
Of the original 8 'New Topographics' photographers I admire Robert Adams' photography the most.
His book 'The New West' is beautiful. I loaned it from the library and have yet to find an affordable one to own, but there is one shown very nicely on You Tube.
He mostly uses 1x1 format which I have always found quite challenging. And the collision between nature and humanity is very palpable in his photos.
I am especially impressed how he purposefully used the brightness and clarity of the high altitude sunlight in that series.
When I came across this structure which boasts that it's architect wanted it to "fit in" with the environment I could not help to realize the irony. The only way it's going to fit in would be if it were built out of the mud of the Illinois plains.
So I wandered around and around looking for the right angle to show the tension of the two wrestlers, man and nature locked in battle.
