Whereas many tilt-shift photographs put the center of the composition in focus, here, Barbieri crisply renders the snow-dusted mountains in the distance. The New York New York hotel and casino, in the foreground, is a blurry apparition that seems to shimmer in the desert heat. Barbieri cleverly comments on the unreality of the Las Vegas landscape while at the same time demonstrating the Strip’s relationship to the surrounding region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aperture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42514099110022,"sku":"LB109","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/5399\/1302\/files\/Aperture-LB109-1_8063e6b8-2d2f-4ab6-ba58-f79400367f68.jpg?v=1763776024","url":"https:\/\/store.aperture.org\/products\/site-specific_las-vegas-05-2005","provider":"Aperture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
