Project Initial Organizational Meeting is August 8, 2026, 10AM at Kimball Jenkins
Our American Landscape
The American landscape isn’t just about geography—it’s about scale, contrast, and the layered stories that stretch across it. But the American landscape isn’t only a ‘natural’ untouched one. It includes the human imprint—cities rising from unlikely terrain, while smaller towns perhaps glow in the oasis of wide open spaces and blue skies. All of it together forms a visual narrative: movement from wilderness to settlement, from quiet to intensity, from ancient formations to modern skylines. The American landscape is less a single scene and more a shifting mosaic—one that feels both grounded in earth and can be shaped by imagination.
This project invites NHCP members to explore the many dimensions of the American landscape and to shape a personal vision—using photography to tell stories that are both individual and distinctly rooted in place.
It challenges NHCP members to move beyond documentation and to craft a distinct visual narrative—one that reflects their own perspective, experience, and interpretation of landscape. Stories may range from a documentary approach to expressive and may reflect the artist’s personal interpretation of the landscape and the emotion it evokes.
