Parking lot pictures by Ed Ruscha
Here is a set of flickr images taken from google earth that attempt to recapture Ruscha's 'parking lot' series of images. This documentation on American car culture is amazing. These stark photos stand in opposition to the dominant, drive-in dinners and movie theatre photos that attempt to paint American homoginization as a fun new way of life.
Thirtyfour Parking Lots, 1967
Twentysix Gasoline Stations, 1963
