So David chose to move into the whole photo collage thing in the 70's and 80's, with the advent of the personal computer and personal printer. One of his more famous collages is called "Pearlblossom Highway", done in 1986.
The Pearlblossom Highway is a stretch of road about 15 miles Southeast of Palmdale in Southern California. There were many pictures taken and put together in collage form, giving the viewer a spectacular glimpse of the lonely road. Having lived in Southern California, I can tell you that outside of the bigger cities, there are quite a number of roads like this one, where there are signs that pop up, telling the driver that "you are not alone" in this vast desert.
I think that, given the opportunity, this would be a fun project to complete here in West Chester. It would no doubt take a long, long time to complete, but would give you one glimpse of a place, taken from thousands of moments, just like David did with Pearlblossom Highway.
