Wasn't it the market here that first brought us into connection with each other Erica? It's been too long now; the memories have faded. But, I can still picture Gordon selling his baked goodness alongside me in Muskrat Park. I turn to photography as often as I do to words for self-expression and as a means of communication. I think Sontag is misguided in her opinion, but were I to entertain the notion for the sake of discussion, I'd say if her premise is true, then it applies equally to every other creative pursuit. Words to the page, brush to canvas, hands to clay - could not each be described as reductionist in their attempts to bring the vastness of the world into manageable forms?
Marvelous

Enjoyed this piece!
I LOVE that. What I love about traveling is going to the markets. The faces, the rituals, it's like being apart of something sacred.
