Sons of the Living — Bryan Schutmaat. Published by Trespasser.
There’s a depth to seeing in Sons of the Living that allows the images to go beyond their literal truth and into the realm of myth. I can’t think of a better way to depict the Western United States. Additionally, the sequencing of the images adds a real energy to the work, propelling the viewer through the landscape, giving a sense of the Earth’s endless spinning.
