The camera sees differently than you and me.

The flattening of the image, limited range of intensity and modification of color (still more the translation from color to monochrome) yields an abstraction and we respond to it differently than to the scene itself.  It is a single point in both time and scale serving as a placeholder for memory but can alter that memory in ways both simple and profound. 

 The landscape is an entry point, a starting place from which to understand what has happened, is happening, and perhaps what will.  I want my viewers to think about scale and time from a vantage point of my choosing without being aware of my meddling - if it's blatant they will see only the single place and time - if subtle they may see and feel beyond.
