The West : Ford

Colorado 2018. Man-made possessions are gently absorbed back into the landscape in this hostile terrain. Every item is used to its full potential and nothing is discarded unnecessarily. Parts can be salvaged and adapted to keep other machines running. On the High Plains there is so little moisture that it is unlikely metals will rust away quickly. The scorching sun bleaches paint and landscape alike. The privately owned ranches are a disappearing feature of the historic West. This project set out to capture the lifestyle and traditions before they are eradicated forever. 4865 X 3176 px
