Lovely perspective. The houses lean in to squeeze a little color from the tree. Very nice!

The Daniel Gilbert quote should make any visual artist pause. The dance between eye and brain is never ending and different for all. We move forward through life, evolving with no turning back. How we saw something yesterday is gone.

I̢۪m a stubborn purist who̢۪s out of touch with modern digital art. I like whimsical and enigmatic but believable at the same time. The photographer who leaves no footprints, where how never competes with why. Some of your images are just out of reach because I know how they were created.

Having said all that, I did enjoy your essay. It̢۪s a wonderful display of relationships, bringing life to the inanimate and a deeper meaning to these installations. My critique is more about me than your photographs.

number 12, 13, and 14 - my favorite stretch of images in your essay. In 14 the blinding glare on the painting with red hands covering the sculptures eyes. Brilliant!

Don, your poetry shines and the supporting photographs bring us closer. Maybe my favorite of your essays to date. Our fragile insignificant existence and what we do with it. An indifferent planet that would be better off without us. You̢۪ve led us along but we have room to make your story our own. Terrific work!

Sarah and Don, I agree with both of you about this photograph not fitting into my essay. Several of my favorites, like this one, just didn't work in a series. At least I could make them work. As always, thanks for your feedback.
