We're on a journey here in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, otherwise known as the Twin Cities, where the Mississippi River divides the two cities. I'm going around and photographing urban landscapes. Urban landscapes can mean a number of things to a number of people. We're gonna kind of shoot things that are a little bit more offbeat, things that are important to us as far as how we interpret urban landscapes.
I think one of the big misconceptions in urban landscapes is people go to the most iconic locations. I don't necessarily see urban landscapes that way. One of the things we're gonna do here is we're gonna show you ways to be able to photograph urban landscapes that are different than other urban landscapes, the way we've interpreted and the way we've been shown. Little things, like a street sign, can actually be an urban landscape, believe it or not. A roadblock can be an urban landscape.
So, those are things that work and you have to look at it as not a single image, but a collection of images that are urban landscape photographs.
