There are images of place, and then there are images about place. All photographs have to be made somewhere, yet the way photographers incorporate this layer of information could not be more varied. For some, conveying a sense of place is the central purpose for the work; for others, it is a concern secondary to, or even distracting from, other narrative or conceptual goals. Yet some of the best photographs manage to thread the needle between these approaches, allowing place to inform the work without reducing it to an expression of geography alone.
