Text Appearing Before Image:
ILL PALMER. In the instance above cited the would-be artist was filledwith the grandeur of the mountains. But the camera madethe mountain range a very small fraction of the platearea. Simply a line across the center. The upper half beinga pure ungraded mass, which in the resultant print appearsas so much white paper. The lower half probably a jumbleof materials mixed together in such a manner as to makea single dark mass of no particular interest. At the sametime, in that immediate foreground—probably within astones throw of where we were standing, possibly the tripodneed not be moved from its position—there is among thatheterogeneous mass a unit that is capable of forming the key-note for a whole dozen compositions, which can be madeto cover the picture space in such a manner as to satisfy themost exacting. Therefore I say, Study the units, their lines, their masses.See that single clump of mullein stalks, the broad acresbeyond, even the mountain range, but see the mullein first.
