Gates of Eden: American Cultural Landscapes

The intersections between human culture and the landscape in North America have formed my primary subject as a photographer and a cultural historian since the mid-'70s. These pictures are part of a huge body of work, made all over the United States, Canada, and Northern Mexico during the last two decades
