Reflections: The Pre-millennium Landscapes - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This was a return to a theme I had explored 20 years earlier. Like many such earlyworks, it was short lived, as it lacked direction or sense of purpose. The concept wasretained and lay dormant, waiting for a different sensibility on my part to explore thistheme again.Images were collected during 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. The first images werecollected using a film camera. I began photographing with a digital camera in 2005.I decided to terminate the series in 2006. I had other images that were now of higherpriority, other themes and other technical ideas that required exploration.The title for the series and the individual images come from a connection to aneconomic viewpoint on the development of our society through the 20th century.Specifically the phrase "the Henry Ford economy".This relates to the creation of a middle class through the development of massproduction techniques that made many goods plentiful and affordable. It was said thatHenry Ford believed he had to pay his workers well enough so they could afford alifestyle that would allow them to buy one of the cars they helped build.The Reflections, of course, come from our own century. They are often obscure andsubtle, sometimes a bit clearer, but always distorted; much like our view andunderstanding of what it would have been like to live in the "Henry Ford economy".The hard copy images are printed on art paper using a digital printer.Color, 120 photographs, 134 pages.
