Forgotten corners in the California desert

Photographer ed Freeman's easy to find a place that has forgotten other people. He just looks at the map of the California desert, finds a small place away from the road and went there. Freeman traveled for several decades, mostly as a musician, producer and even as a Manager tour of The Beatles, but in the past seven years in his busy schedule of a road trip he took the time to take the streets and nooks mythologized Western States.

Desert Realty ("Desert of the real estate") is a book not about what actually exists in the desert. In fact, Freeman comes to what calls it all a lie. His images show the real place, but they are processed with a computer. The hustle and bustle of everyday life erased once a blue sky filled with clouds chimerical, which never existed. Added sky from completely different places, and when the real sky is not suitable, Freeman uses the gradients generated by the computer. He wipes some colors and adds others, unreal. The mountains on each of the photos — are the same, only with minor changes.
