America in View
Landscape Photography 1865 to Now
Sep 21, 2012 – Jan 13, 2013

Label copy

Today we can satisfy our curiosity to see what “America” looks like by roaming Google Maps as well as Interstate highways. In his series “A New American Picture” Doug Rickard selects and digitally enhances images taken by Google Street View’s automated cameras of blighted neighborhoods and impoverished communities across the United States. One can’t help but think that these urban landscapes were never intended for people, only cars.
