Beginning in 1975, Tod Papageorge took a series of cross-country trips to create candid group portraits at these places. Marine and Maia is one of many nude portraits that Jock Sturges shot at these places. Nearly abstract bands appear (10[1])in Hiroshi Sugimoto’s long-exposure series (-5[1])taken (-5[1])from these outdoor (-5[1])places.

Heavily-laden men approach this sort of natural location in the background of Robert F. Sargent’s photo Into the Jaws of Death (10[2])and Robert (10[1])Capa’s (10[1]-5[1])The (10[1])Magnificent (10[2])Eleven.
