SUBLIME	SIMULATION

My project Virtually There was realized during residencies at the Gushul Studio and The Banff Centre in the Canadian Rocky Mountains in Fall of 2009. From its onset, landscape photography has acted as a tool for capturing views from distant lands – places where the majority could, or would not travel – and brought them into the comfort of the home. Before setting out on these residencies, I spent a period of one month taking virtual ‘trips’ online. I examined historic photographs of the mountains, topographic maps, images and GPS tracks on websites, and then composed views of the Rockies in Google Earth. When I arrived in the Rocky Mountains, I re-enacted these simulated explorations, and created photographs from the same vantage, using a medium and large format camera.
