aesthetics, geomorphology, impacts


On a deeper, literally fundamental level, landscape (in the broader sense of environment) bears study because it is the ground of our being, the material basis of our existence. As geographers and environmental scientists remind us, our lives “take place”;  we live in particular locales that affect us enormously–physically and psychologically–in ways that seldom rise to conscious awareness.
Where we are helps determine who we are and how we interact with our world.–The Best & Worst Country in the World Stephen Adams

I stumbled off the track to success in 1968, started chasing shadows that summer. Since then, In addition to farm-laborer and newspaper photographer my occupational incarnations include dishwasher, janitor, retail photo clerk, plumber, HVAC repairman, auto mechanic, CAT scan technologist, computer worker and politico (whatever it takes to buy a camera.) I am on the road to understanding black and white photography.

One thought on “aesthetics, geomorphology, impacts”

  1. Hi, Bill. Been away a while, great to be back here.

    We’ve touched on this before, but the landscape does indeed impact the psyche. Be it a town or a city, cottage or high-rise, “surrounding” is important. To me, it seems that only in recent years has this idea gotten any traction at all.
