Though the image is probably the most seen in our generation, O’Rear himself has seen the image in the window of a restaurant in a Thai village and in the background of a TV interview with the Venezuelan president. It doesn’t phase him when he see’s the image out and about, O’Rear was paid out an unspoken amount of money for the image’s rights.
And for those who remember Bliss as this gorgeous rolling green hill and immaculate blue sky, the most surprising fact about the image is that O’Rear claims that it wasn’t digitally manipulated. At all. Medium Format with the right type of film could indeed capture color so rich plus mixed with a shitty over-processed computer screen from the 90’s.
But the spot is open on the road for people to check it out, unfortunately the land is now private property but you could still pull over and give yourself a second glance.
// To give it a try yourself, just go to Google Maps and enter the following coordinates: 38.248966, -122.410269.
