simple but very effective concept. you tell us that it's in a wrecking yard, but you don't show us ruin, you show how the close look reveals beauty.

for this reason, I also found #6 distracting, as it's not close enough, but had no problem with the other photos.

I can see why you were attracted to this subject matter. A lovely collection of textures and as found objects. I particularly like how you ended the story with a boy gazing at us through a reflection in the mirror. Maybe we just followed him around while he studied all the wreckage. It's certainly visual stimulating and makes a fine essay.

Marion, this is a fascinating collection of images. I love that you ended it with the human touch. The abstract images are what appeal to me the most. Really well done.

Marion, you examined the detritus and made us look unemotionally but keenly at fragments devoid of the past stories of neglect, old age, violence, disasters ….The last image, of immense sweetness brings us back and completes marvelously our voyage. You seem to say that the way we shall engage in exploring shall be truly without any preconceptions, childlike.
This first image seems to show the diamond in formation although it's clear that it's more fool's gold - the successive pictures are much stronger though.
There are some pictures that to me do not bring much strength to what I think was your intention (#6, 9, 16 and 18)
All the rest are jewels.
I like a lot the way some crystalline images are followed by strong accents of material in search of a new expression. On a different topic, you used a camera that was much beloved by me, a perfect companion.
