DescriptionMexicoLabel TextBarry Andersen has photographed the land and sky for over thirty years. He wrote, “My landscape interest lies primarily at the interface of human activity on the land.” He said that this can occasionally take the form of a picture whose beauty is relatively easy to access. However, it “often takes shape in pictures that stretch my sense of what beauty is in a pictorial and personal sense.” His image shows four trees, essentially the same size and spaced equally apart. They disrupt our idea of desert. Even though there are no people, his photograph evokes human intervention in the landscape. Connect with J.H. Sharp’s Coconino Forest, Grand Cañon, Arizona.
