In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Ormerod embarked on extensive road trips across the USA, driven by a deep curiosity about the spaces and people living on the fringes of society. His photographs frequently consist of themes of decay, alienation and resilience - motels glowing under fluorescent lights, rusting billboards on empty highways and solitary figures navigating expansive, unforgiving landscapes. A masterpiece of a private documentary that expresses the charm and current state of good old America from an exceptional perspective through a mixture of black and white and color photographs. Published two years after Ormerod was killed in a road accident in Arizona in 1991. . Near Fine. Item #11313
