The 36 photos in the series are bigger, more abstract and textural than those in Pathfinder. Maybe even more concerned with surface treatment rather than depth and perspective. Heavier use of intense black and the elimination of black altogether. My goal was to create dreamlike, semi-surreal landscapes using architecture.

Bonnie Loyd, Managing Editor of Landscape Magazine, wrote this about a selection she published in 1983,

Burton Pritzker doesn’t give us any labels. He doesn’t identify the location so we can say, “Aha, I know that place,” and move on. His enigmatic images challenge our own interpretation. His photographs almost seem to be from another world, or from a dream. But the scenes he captures are archetypal places we know, even though we have never been there – scenes we almost recognize, yet can’t quite place. His lost landscapes are ones we simply haven’t found yet."
