There is photography whose subject is intrinsic emotion. The sense of presence and connectivity with the basic aspects of a place, simple objects, beautiful light and nothing else but the experience of feeling rewarded by the allure of beauty that should not be, but it becomes when it is felt.
This is the series Certain Places by Catharine Stebbins. Fascinating.

Intuition and memory profoundly shaped my experience of place. The genesis of this series began on childhood vacations, as my family crisscrossed the west in our station wagon on long summer vacations. The view through the backseat window became my portal into a world of imagination and possibility, where time stood still as the vast open spaces slid by in stop motion, framed like natural dioramas. When we stopped, I’d climb out of the car, walk into the desert and sit where I could touch the rocks and feel the emptiness. The tiniest detail brought the limitless space into sharp focus, pushing me to discover what was happening ahead, hidden beyond the horizon; beautiful empty places that I knew could reveal secrets.

beautiful, peaceful work indeed… and might I add, a wonderful person as well. Met her at a show in LA last september?
I also took some pictures from down below some plants. I”ve linked the an image from my blog. I”m not trying to plug myself (not a professional), but I thought I would contribute my own dabbling in this area.
Love your blog. Keep it coming. I like being exposed to new artists.
Beautiful image Jesse!
