These photos are some digital shots made at the end of December. Nice to get those gifts such as the plastic bag in the bush that looks to me as a dove! Read parts of Geoff Dyers 'Working the Room' and his photographic analysis 'The ongoing moment'. Though I was not much of a fan at first of his photographic book at first, his literary background comes through, giving some powerful poetic observations. As a fan of Rilke, I also appreciated his Rodin article. I also read for the first time a Thomas Wolfe introduction to a book I have by Marie Cosinadas. It is basically warning the audience (it was written in 1978) of the oncoming onslaught of 'Photographic Art Theory' that conceptualises much of today's art/photography. After reading Geoff Dyers' book, I thought it would be good if more compilations of photographic book introductions could be collected as one volume.
