Documenting our Landscape

How does one encounter a photographic image? After all, the image is visual, contains no words, no sentences, no paragraphs, no linguistic structure, yet, the only way one can engage with the image is through the underlying text created as one interrogates the image itself. Language, the metaphor that enriches our visual experience, is the connection between the visual and the construction of meaning that emerges from that interrogation. Language bridges the difference between the image and the understanding. One interrogates through language, deconstructing the visual text contained within the four corners of the image itself.
