New housing, Boulder County, Colorado
A stark gelatin silver print by Robert Adams depicting the spread of suburban development across the open landscape of Boulder County, Colorado. Adams captures the tension between the natural terrain and the encroachment of new housing construction, rendered in his characteristically precise and unflinching black-and-white tones. The image reflects Adams' long-standing concern with the transformation of the American West and the environmental and social costs of unchecked growth.
