Looking Southwest from State Highway 248, 0.1 Mile East of Buffalo Bill Drive 1979

"Looking Southwest from State Highway 248, 0.1 Mile East of Buffalo Bill Drive" is a black and white photograph taken by American photographer Lewis Baltz in 1979. This image, which belongs to Baltz's "New Topographics" series, showcases a deserted landscape with a vast empty field in the foreground and a distant hill in the background. The photograph captures the visual impact of human intervention on the natural environment and explores themes of urban sprawl and the changing American landscape. This image, along with other works in the series, became symbolic of the minimalist and documentary approaches to photography that emerged in the 1970s.
