Clay Lipsky is a self taught photographer who strives to create timeless images. He works in multiple artistic mediums, winning an Emmy Award for his graphic design work
In his work, "Atomic Overlook", Lipsky remembers a time when we feared nuclear attacks from the Soviet Union. He remembers when people could walk out of their front door and watch atomic bomb testing. The media would glorify the power and righteousness of America.
To me, it represents the arrogance of humans. We fight over small tracts of land and arbitrary lines on this spec of dust flying through the universe. The whole time the people who are supposed to protect us sit with their finger on the button ready to usher in our demise. Meanwhile we sit idly by Comforted by the news that we are on the side of good, we chose the right path.
