Michael Eastman's portrayal of the suburban sprawl and strip malls that are currently devouring the country, is best described in this collection's title. Vanishing America is the Eastman's effort to take his last opportunity to capture images of old buildings, moviehouses, barbershops, roadside diners, etc, that we might pass every day without even taking a second glance. He creates dreamlike images out of these last remaining and hidden pieces of old American architecture. These photographs, which are never shot using any sort of artificial light, are now available through Guy Hepner Contemporary.
Michael Eastman has been producing fine-art photography for the past thirty years. His work ranging from images of European architecture, to Midwestern storefront, has earned him the recognition of numerous Museums and art institutes around the world, as well as being named one of the recipients of a National Endowment for the Arts grant. His works have been published in Time, The New York Times, Life, American Photographer, and Communications Arts.
