Robert Adams // Basement for a tract house, Colorado Springs, 1969

Adams. I have been interested in his work, but never really "looked" at it until recently, as he has come up in many of the presentations and texts I have been reading during these past few months. What I have found by looking at his work more closely is that I can relate to his approach and process. He focuses on exploring the impact people have on the land during the 1960s (and beyond). A lot of his work is based in Colorado, and though not in the same towns I have been working in, his images have provided a helpful reference. They have allowed me to see how the land was before and compare the view I have today with his to see how things have changed, or in some cases not so much.
