Just back from my first ever visit to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Amazing adventure. This is one of the many Mountain Birds that we observed on our trip.
"The New Topographics" was an exhibition of "new American landscape photography" mounted at the International Museum of Photography in Rochester, New York, in 1975. It created quite a stir -- it remains the second most-cited photography exhibition in history -- and the style developed quite a following for a number of years. By the time I was studying photography seriously in the early 1990s it was seen as a sort of passé thing -- something to be studied and admired but not really to pursue.
That's too bad, because this kind of stuff is, if I'm really straight with myself, my primary interest in photography. "Landscape" sounds pretty lame (ooo, pretty landscape!), but this stuff is not about being pretty or pictorialist. It's about seeing the "human-altered landscape" in a way that is observant but not necessarily judgemental.
The "New Topographics" exhibition was remounted last year at George Eastman house in Rochester. It is currently on an international tour. Perhaps there will be a resurgence of interest. Perhaps this is my true calling.
