Award of Excellence: Untitled
South of the rapidly growing city of Boise, Idaho the earth becomes flat and dry. One of the only roads, dotted with power lines in harmony with John Gast's American Progress, leads to and from Swan Falls Hydroelectric Dam. It is in this in between space that young people from both urban and rural backgrounds seek solace and escape. This area is their shooting range, their first kiss, and where their identity with the American west first becomes their own. The two road signs I photographed on 120mm film are proof that this type of coming of age still exists.
