hotographer is to examine the perception and experience of landscape and to portray the mood or spirit evoked by light and scale," says Cobb." I live in western Massachusetts, a landscape that is familiar to me and feels like home: intimate and accessible. Inspired by many years living in the west, I often long for the splendor and sense of the sublime evoked by the mountains and vast open plains. I went looking close to home to make images that could evoke a similar sense of awe and expansiveness, and found these illusions of grandeur in the most ordinary and unassuming fields, hills and parking lots."
