Another great essay, Jim! I admire your writing, your ability to dissect a topic and write about it. I can see all these influences in your own photography. I was not familiar with David McMillan but the photograph you chose for your essay speaks to me. Thank you for sharing!

A thought-provoking essay, one that makes me want to linger on images more. "The trees hold still. The composition doesn’t call for your attention, at least not immediately. But if you linger, the scene begins to open."

I like your article very much. I have been working on a series for several years. Often returning to rephotograph until the site reveals. Quiet work I’m told. It’s hard to find a home in a noisy marketplace. Especially one that thrive on novelty. Your article reminds me that what I’m doing has value. Thanks.
