Between the Wish and the Thing was a solo exhibition by Bobby Hodgson featuring large scale panoramic prints. 

Reservoirs like lake mead are a t their lowest levels since the 1950's as overpopulated urban centers like Las Vegas, S a n Diego, a n d Los Angeles drain them at an alarming rate. In my photographs I'm asking the viewer to look again, p a y attention to the resources we take for granted, question whether we should be manipulating our environment to the point of exhaustion, and to examine the aftermath of that exploitation.

Throughout this project I focused on areas that have lost their placeness due to over-development, places in danger of being lost to over-development, and the institutions responsible for that displacement.

When someone views a symmetrical image they're recording the s a m e scene twice, it's like revisiting a memory right after you've made it. By reflecting visual information I can force my viewer to look again and hopefully cement these places in their memory on a neuroaesthetic level that mimics the awe of a new experience.
