Between West Sidewinder Drive and State Highway 248, Looking North 1979

"Between West Sidewinder Drive and State Highway 248, Looking North" is a 1979 photograph by American photographer Lewis Baltz, known for his documentation of the American landscape. This black and white photograph exemplifies Baltz's New Topographics style, characterized by its focus on the overlooked and mundane aspects of modern life. The image depicts a barren landscape of gravel piles, likely a construction site or quarry, with no human figures present. This minimalist composition, devoid of any grand narratives, invites viewers to reflect on the impact of human intervention on the natural world.
