For my dissertation I am looking at the photographic group the new topographic Robert Adams one of the better know photographers to be apart of this group. I couldn’t help but look at his work
Adams explored new housing tracts that were being built along the Colorado Front Range in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The developments filled with people who had migrated west in search of a new Eden, only to discover themselves isolated in an artificial landscape. Certain elements of this new landscape recur in Adams' photographs: the uniform, boxy houses, concrete, cars, and dirt plots, as well as the loneliness and isolation that attend this rapidly growing suburban.
