U.S. 97, South of Klamath Falls, Oregon. July 21, 1973
This photograph by Stephen Shore that is part of the series Uncommon Places is currently on view at the exhibition Der Rote Bulli in Düsseldorf. The image on the billboard could have been a painting by Ed Ruscha.
Instantly collected for my billboards tag.

A Billboard That Advertises Nothing But Clean Air, as covered at co.design:
Non-Sign II is the brainchild of the Seattle art and architecture firm Lead Pencil Studio. Even crazier: It was commissioned by the federal government, which usually regards high art the way one would a dead rat.
Lead Pencil Studio’s Daniel Mihalyo sheds light on the concept:
Borrowing the effectiveness of billboards to redirect attention away from the landscape… this permanently open aperture between nations works to frame nothing more than a clear view of the changing atmospheric conditions beyond.

An advert for the Olympus Trip 35 (Wikipedia, Camerapedia, Ken Rockwell). I recently bought one of these at the flea market in Mauerpark (probably paying slightly over the odds) and having run a film through it, it’s working pretty well. Uploads to Flickr soon.
