 Rural Geometry Photography

One of the most interesting things in the world to do is watch people in their habitats.   Faces and body postures are like shorthand, and observing them sometimes seems to tell an entire life of relationships, activities, self care, just a myriad of details.  Now, granted, we know none of us can read minds, and we know that perception is a very very idiosyncratic process.  But I guess to me, the world you can construct around an image of a person doesn't have to be "correct" or "accurate" to be both valid and valuable.  We can learn a great deal from looking at photographs of people.  These are some of the people I learned from over time.
