Drive-By Portfolio

STATEMENT
Sitting shotgun is really the best way to travel. It’s only by leaning back and letting your eyes go slightly out of focus that the trees and wires and telephone poles really start to talk to you.

If you stare out the window of a car going 65 miles an hour, any single portion of the landscape flies by at the edge of perception. Where an eye can only report back to consciousness at its unrelenting pace, a camera can only consider one precise frame at a time. And from a car traveling the right speed and going the right places, each blade of grass becomes a brushstroke, and a tree is a sudden statement of clarity out of nowhere.

A camera shows the hazy majesty of the road; a moment revealed with your head against the window and static on the radio.

Andrew Ti, 2006

I really like this series. Is it stupid to use the word "fresh?" There was a piece on the NYT's web page about this women who photographs "nature adapting to man and man adapting to nature" and it was so tired. This...this is fresh.
