I'm drawn to the way the New Topographics photographers looked deeply to see — and show us — their worlds, often leaving me with the feeling that they maintained both detachment from and intimacy with their subjects simultaneously.
Sub, Obj folks I thought you would appreciate this.
One photo changed 'Odyssey' actress Samantha Morton's life. The British actress's understanding of art, and herself, was altered by an unexpected encounter with an intimately familiar image.

Erie in the most inviting way.
That's a great way of putting it Doug.
Huge fan of Wessel. All so dreamy in a way that borders on unsettling. There's a lot of really nice textures in this set in as well.
Me too Mason. That's an apt description for his work, I've always enjoyed weird photographs like his!
The man looking towards the palm tree with the small flock of birds flying towards him....yes. Also looking forward to picking a book :)
Definitely one of my favorites from the set too. Thank you for supporting us Kevin, it means a lot and I hope you enjoy your copy of EIN!

Well said Jason! That's a unique aspect of this sort of photography that I've always found fascinating.
Another master 😊
I'm happy to hear you've been enjoying the features of some iconic photographers!
Strong images!
Glad to hear you liked the set James!

That first photo is most excellent! Looks like a city on Mars, with the rough, rocky foreground.
