Shadows
ONE HOUR
From a single hot air balloon flight in Albuquerque, this series took one hour to shoot.
These images represent the combination of my love of aerial photography and a personal fascination with the American landscape. The amazing diversity and vastness of the United States, is unlike anything that exists in Australia.
The pronounced contrast of the natural environment against the starkness of man-made world is of particular interest to me. Having a bird's eye view enables me to document this contrast and use the landscape as a means of abstraction. One Hour highlights the banality and order of the suburban environment, while showing the subtle beauty of the natural world from the air.
