The Wire, Salta, Plowden
Pride of place. Baltimore locals guide us through the gritty neighborhoods of HBO’s “The Wire.” NBC’s “The Office” brings street cred to Scranton, Pennsylvania. In the high plains of Argentina, a town’s identity is forever linked to the 1962 Hollywood epic “Taras Bulba.” And location is everything for the photographer David Plowden; he looks back on a career shooting rural landscapes, small towns, and ferocious locomotives.
