WIDE LENS: TRANSFORMING
An exhibit by David W. Brown
It’s been a privilege to traverse vast swaths of the great American landscape throughout my life. Our family moved often for my dad’s work, from the Midwest to New England and the South. As a college student in Michigan, embracing early 1970s hitchhiking culture, I twice crisscrossed the continent by thumb.
Two decades later in a van packed with photographic gear and cameras, I set out on a months-long journey through the Northern High Plains, down the Colorado Plateau, across the Rockies, and into the Southwest - chasing the joys of discovery beneath spacious skies, towering mountains and majestic landscapes. These open vistas have always been an invitation to experience awe, even transcendence.
Like many before and after me, I am compelled to capture the sensation of expansiveness experienced in these encounters with nature’s impressive beauty. Is it possible to preserve such moments of greatness and to make this feeling accessible to ourselves yet again?
