White Field, Wal-Mart, Oneonta, NY, 2006 (from “Universal Default”)

Michael Vahrenwald‘s work struck a chord in me recently. His series Universal Default explore the empty, outer lying spaces of newly constructed “big box” stores in the U.S. — more specifically the borders that seperate spaces of agriculture from the commercial architecture. Vahrenwald’s images are not digitally manipulated, but photographed at night by the ambient glow of the store’s parking lot lights.
More from this series, along with other work, can be viewed on his website.

Looks awesome, but the link to his website seems to be broken.

The link works just fine on my end. Try it again? — or, Google him.
