American Photography: William Rugen « Previous | |Next »
July 17, 2011

I first stumbled across William Rugen on Flickr and was impressed by the way he used his photo-stream and the quality of his images. So I checked out his website:

Rugen says that his Western Dioromas portfolio is:

a snapshot of the American West after nearly two centuries of Manifest Destiny. My interest is in how we Americans have used, abused, discarded and rediscovered the overwhelming space and limited resources time and again and the wary line we draw between where we live and what surrounds us.
