John M. Ramirez
STATEMENT: In
today's post-modern jumble of thoughts and desires; I felt the
bitter sting of anomie brought on by the technogical revolution. The
depression that I felt made me re-tool and re-shape my vision of reality.
My cognition became more abstract as I became more in tune
with today's digital world. All
of this brings me to my photographs of the urban landscape. I
present to you a set of image that illustrate the colors and rhythms of the modern city. Please keep in mind that these images are truly abstractiöns of the shared "urban landscape"; not colorful re-interpretations. I hope enjoy them.
