In Rebecca Solnit's book entitled A History of Walking, she speaks of automobiles saying, "In a sense the car has become a prosthetic ... the auto-prosthetic is for a conceptually impaired body or a body impaired by the creation of a world that is no longer human in scale." The stress of moving through a world no longer human in scale creates a life full of additional stressors and demands of our time. Solnit continues by saying, "Of course, like most time-saving technologies, mechanized transit more often produces changed expectation than free time, and modern Americans have significantly less time than they did three decades ago. … (causing) The disappearance of … musing unstructured space in which so much thinking, daydreaming and seeing has transpired.” We are detached from the landscape in our cars, in fact as we drive to work, we are detached from the entire outside world of people, places, and animals. These photos were taken from the car along my daily commute path. They were taken with the windows up offering glimpses of reflections of the interior space intended to isolate the viewer from the outside world the car, and camera, speed by.
