Because I was so inspired by the way Ganis spoke about his work, I've chosen to copy an exerp from his site to describe the series.
" ' Consuming the American Landscape' (2003) chronicles the use and abuse of the American terrain. Ganis’s color photographs not only present a view of the ever-changing scenery of the United States, but also serve as a powerful criticism against the destruction of such beauty in the name of progress. The subjects of his works embody a wide variety of man made destruction, including the effects of highway construction, the logging industry, oil drilling, landfills, mining, and the overall industrial landscape....Ganis’s artwork challenges the everyday American to take a step back and evaluate the consequences of such a lifestyle."
Ganis recieved his B.A. in Fine Ares from the Ohio Wesleyan University, Deleware OH and his MFA in Photography from the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ. He currently resides in Detroit, MI, where he is a proffessor of Photography at the College for Creative Studies.
