When I begin to review work for the next issue of VIEW, I let my eyes lead me around (usually the internet) and see what comes my way. Sometimes, when I can manage to keep my mind open, the results can be quite surprising and I find that I select work that perhaps a few […]
(Un)Intended Targets Traditionally the term desert has referenced a place that is deserted, without people, and unpopulated. However, now, more than ever, the idea of an empty landscape is far less accurate. Raised in the Phoenix area, William LeGoullon has developed a personal obsession with and appreciation for these transformative spaces. He believes that while […]
Traces Every time I leave my home I keep the camera in my hand and when something impress me I shoot. The constant is that there must be people (apart from rare exceptions), this gives me the impression that there is something alive in the things that photographer.

SNOWPARK The “SNOWPARK” project proposes an analysis of landscapes modified by human intervention. An undefined landscape, dotted by the presence of functional ephemeral objects, which acquire by the eye of the camera, an hybrid status halfway between architecture and sculpture.

Then that curtain was located on several sites to observe how the tapes changed the surface of both the landscape, objects and people, as the […]
Road Ends in Water Change is descending upon an otherwise quiet, unhurried, unobtrusive, place. The main highway, U.S. Route 17, that bisects South Carolina’s “lowcountry,” north to south, is being widened to accommodate commerce, tourists, and urban refugees.
