The biggest influence on my personal photography has to be the New Topographics movement; modern landscapes defined by the visible tension between the natural world and the manmade. Landscapes of mundane structures in post-war America: parking lots, suburban homes, crumbling coal mines, dying malls. Notable artists include Stephen Shore, Edward Burtynsky (the GOAT), William Eggleston, Brian Ulrich, Bernd and Hila Becher, Lewis Baltz, Robert Adams.
