| Blue Ridge Paper Mill, The Pigeon River, Canton, North Carolina -- Jeff Rich |
We've just added new images to Photographer's Showcase artist Jeff Rich's portfolio
Watershed which you can see
here. Rich's work investigates the relationship between water, land and man in the microcosm of the French Broad River Basin, once one of the most polluted rivers in the country.While this environmental project is documentary in nature, Rich's images are so powerful because they can rightfully be called fine art. Capturing the interconnections between man and the environment, his images beautifully depicting how the two are functionally one entity -- for good or ill. Rich has continued the project, following the river from its headwaters to where it joins the Holston to form the Tennessee river.
UPDATE: It's just been
announced that Jeff Rich has won the photolucida 2010 Critical Mass book award! Congratulations to Jeff -- we're already excited to see it!

| Power Plant -- Mitch Dobrowner |
photo-eye Gallery artist Mitch Dobrowner was recently featured on NPR's photo blog The Picture Show with his
Urban Landscapes series. You can read the post
here. In this series, the sprawl of massive cities are dwarfed by the landscape. It's easy to over look the cities in some of these luminous black & white images, as the sky and mountains are so imposing, but the cities are there, resting in the foreground. There is something ominous about these images, the tension between man's creation and the earth is palpable. Check out Dobrowner's work on photo-eye Gallery
