Established View | In creating Established View, I want to confront the way the National Parks are experienced from the scenic drives to the curated viewpoints that made these natural wonders memorable. I became fascinated with the way these landmarks were being utilized from the experienced hiker to the weekend tourist waiting in line for the next selfie. By observing this modern culture that comes to inhabit the parks I seek to discover how long is a moment to these travelers. By utilizing multiple frames of film I seek to explore this movement of time within a place to better understand how this moment of discovery becomes memorable. www.williammarksommer.com
