The Gravity Of Photography

an excerpt from a Tim Davis essay:

America (the booty-full)
Back to that Theme Park of Flux. It's called America. This is the most historyless place in history. We revise the economy constantly. We revere revision. Nothing is sacred. Look at Carleton Watkins and Timothy O'Sullivan [heroes to this 'unhere]. Not a single man-made structure in their photographs survives. What'd Dorothy Parker call life: "a medley of extemporanea?" America is a symphony of One-Offs. We're always Supersizing and Downsizing or something. That's why photographing it matters.
