Did You Know?

This image was re-photographed from Google Street View by Doug Rickard.

Description

Without leaving his house, Rickard took a virtual road trip across America. He explored the country on his computer through Google Street View, seeking “forgotten, economically devastated, and largely abandoned places. . . . scenes of urban and rural decay.” He used a camera on a tripod to re-photograph his chosen images off the computer screen. He opted for low-resolution images that impart a painterly feel to these otherwise harsh views.
