2/25

Some of the shots that stood out the most to me were the photographs of Denver. My home, Dallas, has been and still is growing rapidly. The rural areas used to be so much closer, and there was much less traffic before the suburbs grew. A store that may be ten minutes away can take twice as long to get to because of the growth. The natural beauty of the land is gone with the invasion of mass crowds of people. This contrasts so much with Ansel Adams’s photographs of the west. One shows America as a vast country with grand mountains and beautiful rivers while Robert Adams represents America as a country being destroyed by people removing its natural beauty. It makes me question where the constant building will end.
