The entries. The winner is US photographer Frank Hallam Day for his portfolio entitled ‘Alumascapes’.
F Day, Alumascapes, #6
This photographic project shows the results of a month-long journey through Florida. In his images, Frank Hallam Day depicts the phenomenon of man and his environment in a unique manner and makes recreational vehicles (RV’s) – ultra-modern, high-tech and luxury homes on wheels – the brightly lit and dazzling stars of his pictures.
They seem to be inextricably entwined in the jungle landscapes of Florida at night and appear as essential islands of security in a dark and hostile environment. The RV’s protect their owners with a feeling of safety and comfort in the lap of luxury. Of course, this form of escape no longer has much to do with the love of nature, relinquishing everyday luxuries or winding down.
The residents of the vehicles are never seen – they knew nothing of the presence of the photographer. This is because they sit safely and securely, generally watching TV in the bright and air-conditioned security of their luxurious homes away from home.
