Disappearing Landscapes
the edges and margins of suburbia; how the suburbs creep into the farmland and how that farmland is reshaped and transformed into estates with names like 'Cresta Views' by corporations with that sound like they're out of cartoons like Akron. It's been happening in the area near where I live and I've been taking some photos and trying to write something about the reshaping of the landscape that's going on here.
