Summary

In 60 black-and-white panoramas, Brown documents the changing landscape along the western edge of Southern California. These stark, compelling images reveal a world scraped and reshaped by construction equipment, with boulders pushed aside, stretches of earth flattened, and high-tech communities springing to life. 60 duotones.
