perspective of the house and the hint
of a byway just below. The photograph
is in homage to the picturesque.
The second image is tough, worthy
of a Deakin or a Brandt. However
antiquated the process and
picturesque the house, here Scully
and Osterman cast a modern mood.
An austere byway culminates in a
tall, unhappy, leafless tree, off center,
Mother Nature harshly represented
in comparison to the built tower
across the way. Yet even it occupies
its quadrant of this image awkwardly.
There is about this photograph a bleak
realism, as opposed to the idealized
aura of the first image.
