This volume presents Rickard's innovative appropriation of images from Google's Street View. Photographed as they appeared on his computer screen and expertly edited, the resulting images are haunting and rich. A New American Picture offers a startling and fresh perspective on American street photography. All of the images are appropriated from Google Street View; over a period of two years,Rickard took advantage of the technology platform's comprehensive image archive to virtually drive the unseen and overlooked roads of America, bleak places that are forgotten, economically devastated, and abandoned.With an informed and deliberate eye, Rickard finds and decodes these previously photographed scenes of urban and rural decay.
