Task 1 ~ The New Topographics

New Topographic is a man altered landscape such as a landscape with a man made rail track leading through a forest. Many of the photographers who were included with the new topographics were inspire by the man made urban areas such as parking lots, suburban housing and warehouses. These photos featured in an exhibition at the International Museum of Photography in Rochester, New York; this also gave the message that the natural landscape has a growing erosion by industrial development.
