1973
About the Item
In reading the introduction of his first book Diesels and Dinosaurs, Fitch paints a vivid image of a young version of himself speeding down a two lane highway in back of his father's 1951 Buick –– he was fascinated with small towns, glowing neon signs and 18-wheelers roaming the highway.
In 1971 Fitch earned a degree in Anthropology from The University of California in Berkley, and then in 1978 an MFA in photography from The University of New Mexico. In 1971, inspired by his family's road trips, Fitch began to explore the Western two-lane highway and make photographs – which he continues to do today. His images capture the essence of the classic American highway in neon, motel signs, drive-ins and roadside attractions.

- Entanglement #2- contemporary black and white film landscape photographBy Kimberly Schneider PhotographyLocated in New York, NY"Entanglement #2" - #2/15 Limited edition silver gelatin print; shot on true infrared film in Colorado, in 2002, printed 2016 (for a solo exhibition). [This image was shot at night, a long exposure]. "Spiritual Rhythms" series. 8x8" with 1/16" border. Frame dimensions 16.5x16.5x1" Artist Statement I am drawn to desolate land and seascapes. For me, making images is a meditation of sorts, a search for truth.
