"Western Dioramas is a snapshot of the American West after nearly two centuries of Manifest Destiny. My interest is in how we Americans have used, abused, discarded and rediscovered the overwhelming space and limited resources time and again and the wary line we draw between where we live and what surrounds us." William Rugen

William Rugen was one of 100 photographers chosen to participate in Review Santa Fe 2011. More about Review Santa Fe Part I / Part II on La Lettre de la Photographie. An Interview with Review Santa Fe's, Laura Pressley, Executive Director of CENTER.
