Title
Dry Lake, Morning
Description
Cracked lakebed in low sun, each plate of mud with its own shadow. Becker printed it dark so the cracks would read as lines on a map.
Creator
Sol Becker on the salt flats, 1976. A black and white photograph from the 1970s of a bearded man in his thirties in a canvas work jacket, standing behind a large-format wooden view camera on a tall tripod on a vast flat salt plain, holding the dark focusing cloth, a pale empty horizon behind him.Sol Becker
