In the Land of Edward Abbey | Nichilismo in Fotografia

Edward Abbey was a southwest author, general rabble rouser, and father of the radical environmental movement (he was actually at the first Earth First! gathering). He wrote works of fiction—including the novel The Brave Cowboy that was made into the movie Lonely are the Brave starring Kirk Douglas—non-fiction essays, and natural history narratives such as Desert Solitaire about his time as a park ranger in Arches National Park.

As such, this gallery comprises photographs of my time spent in the southwest states of Utah and New Mexico.

Ronald R. Ferrucci, aka Nichilismo in Fotografia photographs abandoned places, cemeteries, and decaying urban landscapes...amongst other things. This is his portfolio website as well as a place from which you can purchase his photographs.

Portfolios are found under The Victims distributed to specific subject matter. Here you can explore his photographs of New Orleans (The Big Uneasy), Cemeteries and Funerary Traditions (Cities of the Dead), New Orlean's Black Masking Indians (We won't Bow Down), Urban Exploration (Visions of a Dying World), the American Southwest (In the Land of Edward Abbey), and Italy (My Ancestral Homeland). You can also Stare into the Abyss (ie, search for photographs) if you dare.

Below, you can follow us (I mean, it's your funeral).

Whilst one can purchase photographs from the various portfolio pages, you can also find photographs for sale under ecommerce. Here, you can also find one-offs, sale photographs, and other items such as postcards, and odd sizes.

In addition to prints of different formats, you can also request special matting and framing (he does all his own) or different, not specific, sizes.
