Too long since my last post. There were a couple topics I was going to write about but just never quite got around to. There was a great post over on Musings by Tim Atherton last week that really caught my attention. He mentioned the work of Marten Lange, who has some really cool abstract landscape images. I really identify with them and it reminded me of some shots I’d seen in a Lee Friedlander book I’d recently purchased entitled At Work. There were many images of the wires and cables of machines that were similar to Lange’s.
Many of the images also were similar to Friedlander’s landscape images from his series of Olmsted parks. Its pretty cool because Olmsted designed the grounds for the Biltmore Estate right here in Asheville and Friedlander participated in a project entitled A Ramble in Olmsted Parks. Although, I don’t think the Biltmore is featured, the photos are wonderful.
