Jim, you have presented a thoughtful essay. The tree forts remind me of some of the excellent literature about retreating to the woods, building a modest shelter there, and living a quiet life — much like a “quiet photograph.” Abel’s Island, My Side of the Mountain, Walden and Bridge to Terabithia spring immediately to mind.
Thanks for those comments. I’m trying to find a new way to talk and write about photography with an emphasis on description and less on everything else.
