What happens when you consider the sky as a landscape? The focus shifts to a negative space of expansive nothingness. Location becomes ambiguous and universal. How can structures, natural and unnatural, frame that negative space? Framing and color give dimension to the seemingly flat surface. This was my approach to landscape when I was stuck at Bowdoin for the weekend, trying to view my surroundings in a different and interesting way. Success? Yes. In many shades of blue.
I enjoy these landscape prints very much. It is often hard to hold a viewer’s attention with so little action within a frame, however, the deep blue sky and small appearances of houses or even airplanes are able to create a composition that works. The photos definitely deviate from cliche but still provide a pleasing photograph due to the sky.
