US Route 20 - Nassau, New York
c 2006 Curt Miller

While I see myself as a traditionalist in my photographic descriptions of the world, I am a strong devotee of minimalism as well. Philip Glass, for instance, is one of my favorite composers. Photographic description, too, can be minimalist in approach and achieve a significant end by communicating mood or intent. I consider this picture to be one of the best I've ever made because it conveys my sense of mood and of place. At its essence, photography is a most personal form of communication.
