In the meantime, Mr. Moose has made a photo book that may be close to the
antithesis of Mr. Crawford's oeuvre.

The title is only on the spine, "Extracts from Artifacts".
I have called my images that are formal vignettes from a broader visual field
'abstracts' in the past, but recently
learned that St. Ansel, perhaps from growing up with true abstract art,
preferred the term 'extract', which does seem to
me more precisely descriptive.
A modest book in size/scope, in part because it was a special price for 40
images; it's limited to relatively recent
images with µ4/3 cameras of subjects that are primarily or completely man made.
In the process of creation, it somehow became a series of otherwise mostly
unrelated images in facing page pairs that
relate to each other in various ways. The relationship is most often purely
visual, but may be quite different between
pairs.
Carol LOVES it, so it has at least one fan, and was already worth the effort.
I'm still a little too close to it to know
what I think about it as a whole, freestanding piece.
Thanks to all here who have had nice things to say about my various Extract
images. Especially to Joel:

* The image to which Joel referred is not in the book. It should end up in
either an expanded version or in Extracts
from Artifacts II. :-)

What if the Hokey Pokey *IS* what it's all about?
