Photographs are often warnings that we have missed something important. The best ones chastise us for all the moments that we have been too impatient or preoccupied to pause before something that might have changed our way of seeing.
The natural world is at a particular disadvantage in receiving our notice. Spectacles there do not always announce themselves. As the priest and poet Daniel Berrigan once wrote of the word of God, nature “is scarcely audible, rarely attended to in the absurd cacophony of competing claims, the culture of noise, inadvertence, distraction.”

Roy Money’s images cut through the babble and chatter to reveal the ways in which the landscape marks itself, lined and bordered with tools of its own making, fashioning instructions that have little or nothing to do with our maps, no matter how detailed, and where black and white are the only true colors.
