Peter Henry Emerson 1886

Naturalism, in the ontological sense, basically asserts nature is all we have therefore we should savor and relish in it. Peter Henry Emerson's photos seem to line up with this notion of perceiving the world. He seems to see nature and completely absorb it through the camera. I actually wanted to put up more than one photo of his because I really like them. I like the idea of capturing nature and the timing that is involved in a process like that. It seems like one has to key in on the finest detail in order to fully capture nature. I wonder if you can ever fully capture anything with a camera? Aesthetically, I don't think so, especially in terms of nature.
