PANORAMA

INTRODUCTION

The emotions of photography

"I am struck by the universality of people's love of beautiful landscapes. In that moment, the sensations may be expressed in spiritual terms, or as curiosity, or humbleness, or with terms of ownership.

We know from our own experience that these vistas give us a chance to ponder our role within something larger, and somehow come away feeling better about ourselves. In these moments, as individuals project themselves out into the natural world and receive an affirming response, they discover a bond they had not previously known or feel a bolstered devotion to place. These moments are powerful openings for education and interpretation."
