Man-Altered Landscapes

A local story Tony Nyberg has begun a project photographing cellphone towers in their landscape around the country.

In a similar approach as the photographers in the 1975 exhibition of the New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape, I am interested in an approach to landscape photography that is straightforward in it’s aesthetic, attempting to document the view in an objective manner.

The cellphone towers represent a contemporary take on man’s interaction with the land. They exist as part of our everyday life, representing how technology sits alongside us at every tweet, email and mobile call.
