This week I didn’t look for/at many photographers. I spent much of the time during my evenings trying to get through a paper called “The Machine in the Garden Revisited - American Environmentalism and Photographic Aesthetics” by Deborah Bright, whose writings I enjoy more than her photography, despite her images and the concepts behind the imagery being interesting in itself.
The Machine in the Garden is about the relations between landscape photography’s aesthetics and environmental politics. It was a pretty heavy read - I’ll have to sit down with it again on a day when I can read the whole thing at once. It was all very interesting nonetheless.
