I spent better part of an hour viewing, yesterday again, the Kirk Gittings work, commissioned by City of Albuquerque on Rio Grande conservation program. A dozen-plus near-pano's (maybe 6X14) of the river, the banks, the cottonwood forest ("bosque") ...each image with someone working on the project, noticed only after the larger subject is appreciated.
Exceptional B&W prints. Compelling.
Great photography. Somehow emotional. A relief Vs the dramatic-sky-obsessed stuff that's so habitual to many. Rio Grande is hard to photograph in B&W due to flat terrain, somewhat monocultural nature (dominated by cottonwood forest)
