landscape

This landscape was taken at an apple orchard at the end of autumn. These large posts divide the different varieties of apples. This shot shows earth and sky, but also 4 people. The two people closest to the camera are my friends I went apple picking with, but the other two are strangers that walked by right as a shot. I put people in my landscape because I love to take and look at pictures of people. I personally find it very hard to enjoy photos that do not include people, because i think the human body is the most interesting and beautiful thing to photograph.

My earthworks and landscape shots are similar as they both include human bodies in relation to the natural world- earth (water) and sky. The landscape includes both posed and unposed humans, while the earthworks only contains one posed human. The earthworks includes the objects we installed, but the landscape also involves wooden posts that were also installed by the human hand, although obviously our earthwork object installations were much more intentional for our specific shot. My landscape and earthworks shots seem to be, overall, very similar.
