My Southwest Experience (March to April 2015)
How and what would you photograph in a region, the American Southwest, which is touristically developed up to the most remote corners, where every square feet has already been photographed, and almost every place evokes a déjà-vu of remembered images? Is it even possible to outperform the ultimate reference pictures of Ansel Adams from Yosemite, Edward Weston from Big Sur or the Grand Canyon by Eliot Porter, all of them taken already the span of a human lifetime ago? »My Southwest Experience« is a report on crowds of visitors, omnipresent smartphone cameras, and the painful effort to obtain new images beyond the clichés of the places visited.
