A Photographic Quote of Note:
Most people try to include too much in the picture. If you are photographing a child playing on the lawn, photograph the child, not the trees, the house, and everything else in sight. Photography is really a simple statement and the clearer it is the better. – - – - – Eliot Elisofon

a fossilized footprint?
i heard they found whole mastadons frozen in the snow in the 1950s. i wonder what happened to them? they probably took them to the same place we keep the space aliens who crashed in nevada.
there’s no telling what experiments the government has performed on these creatures.
but back to your photograph, i love your quotes on simplicity as a photographic virtue. there’s no guessing where your eyes are supposed to go.
