On the 20x200 website, I found a very interesting photo by Justin James King from Saratoga, NY. He became interested in landscape at a very young age, particularly for its history and connotations. In May 2009, Justin was awarded Best Personal Work as a Series in the New York Photography Awards. He was a 2009 Second Edition Hot Shot and will be exhibiting his work at Jen Bekman Gallery in 2010.
From this photo, we see a blank, black landscape that is filled in by our own preconceived notions. We see first things that come to mind, experiences, memories, emotions. These manifestations of our culture and experiences allow us to fill in the black landscape we look out into.
