George Tice


I knew when I first saw his collection that half of these places looked so familiar, but when I cam across this particular image it just stuck out so much. The under pass is such a vivid place that sticks out so much when traveling on the turnpike toward north jersey. George Tice is most famous for his black-and-white landscapes of new jersey and its cityscape. For a viewer that has never been to New Jersey, it could give the most accurate feeling of being in the state; seeing the random corner stores, traveling on the turnpike, or even walking down the street feeling the brisk November chill and seeing all the houses stacked so close together and having no front or back yard. Aesthetically his collection has a special place amongst all the other great photographers, by capturing most of his images on gray days with low light.
