he closes the book:
"Good apparatus liberates the imagination—but it may also capture it.
Technology is beguiling, and it can refract the spiritual rhumb line of
the hardiest voyager. Aerial photography is especially alluring because
of all its requisite gadgets and skills, so I must remind myself often:
vision comes from the heart; tools merely give it form."
Steve, I agree. In fact once in my life I was taken to the air in a
small aircraft (well it was two flights in 40 mins) and I took pictures
through the window. So, to the most minimal degree I can relate.
And indeed, the "good" imagination is usually free from apparatus
limitations...
