Transfigured Landscapes and the Long Ride Through Them
The blog world is larger than the largest newsstand. It is more likely just about the size of a huge library. Fortunately, or not, most bloggers simply rehash other blogs.

AMERICANSUBURB X also links to Maximilian Haidacher, a talented German college student who graduates this spring. Haidacher has a terrific eye that brings to mind transfigured landscapes in the tradition of the underrated pioneer of the genre Robert Aller.
