Bruce Dale








Bruce Dale is a famous photographer for National Geographic. His landscape photography really caught my eye. As I looked more into him and his photography I learned he has had over two thousand photographs published by National Geographic, and has won "Magazine Photographer of the Year." Dale has traveled to over 75 countries throughout the world to create his photography. I especially like his road photographs, he makes something so simple and everyday seem like a really good concept for landscape and art.

Urban Landscapes

I have a concept for a landscape project that I'd really like to do but time and money aren't on my side. I'm from Newark (NJ) and I feel like there's a misconception that a lot of people have about the city. It's not perfect but it has been changing a lot and I wanted to show the duality of the downtown area versus inner city Newark. But like I said, that's a project for another time (most likely it'll be digital) and in the mean time here's some work I found by Paul Raphaelson, a Brooklyn based photographer who photographs urban landscapes. These are from his gallery called Lost Spaces, Found Gardens.
