"Radiator water" is nicest of the lot, though it took me a moment to spot
the bees. The goat's cool, too.

Keep yr finger on the shutter button, but maybe back off the sharpening a
bit.  There're definitely crispy to the point of digital reticulation--jpg
artifacts.

Low contrast tones are distinctly muddy on my monitor.

A collection of twenty or so photos, mostly landscapes, mostly black and
white, mostly Leica M*, from the vast and beautiful American south west
-- compromising largely California, Arizona, and New Mexico.
 
to keep you on your toes, i have carefully inserted a mediocre photo
taken by lug photographer [NAME REDACTED ON IRRATIONAL INSISTANCE OF
LEGAL COUNCIL]. the rest of the photos are, i swear to god, as good as
GB's** photos.

i reprint here some early criticism in the form of this blurb from the
Burnt Wood Nebraska Star Ledger: "This collection of landscapes surpases
anything Kyle Cassidy has done to date. Their awe-inspiring grandeur is
coupled with tonal gradiations not seen since Ans. Adms. They are at the
same time bold, sensitive, sinnister, and brilliant. An opus worthy of a
decade spent in the desert." and as you know, THE BURNT WOOD STAR LEDGER
DOES NOT WRITE PUFF PIECES!
 
 
thanks for looking,
