The traveller’s lodge — where we sell our overflow of apples and almonds. America’s basic belief in a special land granted to them built the myth of the west.

Ansel’s Acolytes study is limited to the first three books. Leaving them with less than enough to locate a photograph, nor position themself in a meaningful history, even though they proudly place their dark tones into the deeps of the skill.

A) ..”the origins of the park do not lie in the arrest of time.. they lie in the enclosure of aristocratic hunting grounds, territories set apart from settlement and cultivation for the explicit purpose of the chase. — Cosgrove

B)” In Virgil, to whose poetry it has conventionally been traced, Arcadia is not an imaginative or desired place of stasis or of achieved harmony between humans and the natural world; it is a moment within a complex process of human evolution whose driving forces are sexual love and violent death.”

Origins, initial purposes become diluted in a rush to become a member of some groups. Membership may mean forgetting the questions of purpose, since they can take the group into discord. Membership in a group often means discussions take on a “founder” bias. If they came from a technical background (many do) then the forum tends toward such discussions. Some forms of discussion are suspect and suspended.

For this reason, much is left behind. Dropped from their canon. He leads you where he went.

Now, the hobby talks lenses and light — all about the light. All the while they talk about their hike, camera, lens and metering for, oh right, the light. What zone is this. What location is that.

In the move from studio to landscape we gain access to different atmosphere. With tubes of paint and lightweight easels we enlarged the scope of painting, of art in the world. With every change of materials a change of artist follows. The hobby, the dedicated crafter often remain to hold down their past. This is that leap of text seen by reviewing recent pasts.

Throughout the 1920s, Union Pacific’s entire Photographic Division was staffed by three men—Eyre Powell, Jack Bristol and Vincent H. Hunter. There was no separation of labor among Union Pacific photographers in those days—all three took photos, developed film, wrote articles for the monthly “Union Pacific Magazine” and even created movies on 16mm. The trio was joined at the end of the decade by photographer William A. Coons. … Gilbert Stanley Underwood was a famous architect who designed buildings for Union Pacific Railroad and the national parks. he used the trees and stones he found in the local area so that the lodge would match the environment

The history of landscape study and, more broadly, place and regional studies, illustrates the convergences with some of the histories here, both across discipline and nation.
