I'm simply struck by their 'there-ness' - that all sorts of wonderful things are just 'there' and whose special dignity may go unnoticed until we section them off and put them in an individual frame - and the only way to do that is to photograph them in situ - the context is crucial, even when most of the context is outside the range of the photo.<BR/><BR/>Well, and, once again, thank you.<BR/><BR/>LucyLucy Corranderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743561298706555813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990121379662700939.post-61909292441727941632008-08-02T00:06:00.000+01:002008-08-02T00:06:00.000+01:00Dear Lucy, I keep coming back your photo essay num...Dear Lucy,<BR/> I keep coming back your photo essay numerous times today.<BR/> I have wanted to post a comment, but words sometimes are not adequate when one is really moved. I am afraid that adjectives will seem trite. So, after many false starts, perhaps I should just say what I feel.<BR/>I love your work. It moves me. I see things like this, but perhaps not often enough, and usually only in dreams.<BR/>You have captured the estuary; the brackish tang, the green-brown, the russet, the open landscape so huge that one sees bits of things in salty plants which loom large. Perspective is altered; all is touched by the wind.<BR/>The pine and thicket is a natural accompaniment. To use the word “texture” seems so obvious. One feels what you have shown. The image of knitted wool is brilliant and delicious.<BR/>Your work gives me so much pleasure, and makes me think. Thank you.<BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>PhilipPhilip Bewleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593795071070337798noreply@blogger.com
