English-born photographer Tom White originally wanted to be a painter, but took a strong interest in photography and works as a freelance photographer in New Jersey, where he now resides. He went to the International Center for Photography where he studied journalism and documentary photography. I especially like his American Landscapes project, which depicts how man shapes his environment and the landscape: building roads, constructing billboards, gas stations, and railways. The long exposures of the landscapes obscure any evidence of people being in the frame: brake lights and headlights streak through the image, people walking are blurred.
His portrait and street photographs are particularly interesting as well. Many of these photographs are of homeless people, sometimes juxtaposing two ends of the income scale.
