"The Great Marsh is stunning. Your sense of landscape, the way you frame and bring it back to us, is remarkable. The contours in every photograph – that's what engages the eye. Curve and whorl of dune, sweep and dance of grasses, islands in the fog, the amoebic sycamore, the boardwalk leading us into the distance. And the reflections and shadows are remarkable.... Now I know this place. The foreword and essay are just right, underscoring the nature of what you are photographing and its importance. Bravo!
