ALTERED STATES OF AGORAPHOBIA (II): Image of the day

Charlie Down By DJ Menges

Welcome

The images presented here have been selected from the Flickr group of the same name.

The Altered States of Agoraphobia is a psychological, geographical and cultural investigation into the United States of America today by what I call its ‘Resident Aliens’. It is a contemporary photographic exploration into both the psyche of the artist and also a document of the world in which he or she inhabits and the forces acting on both. It is a journey which explores the destination. It is also an experiment and acts as an extension to my own photographic projects with the aim of eventually creating, collectively, both a personal and also universal portrait of America by its residents.

The purpose of this blog is to refine the already extraordinary images submitted to the Flickr group, and by careful selection, explore further the ideas, notions, observations and trends made by these artists who I believe are tuned into the subtle energies at work internally and externally in contemporary America.
In short the ASA members are psychic agents. A national artistic collective of like minded photographers and artists with a certain outlook and of vision who are interested in making insightful and sensitive observations.
It is a place where 1+1=3.
