"Observation grows with what it feeds on, drive by focussed inquiries that deepen exponentially over time." - Phyllis Lambert
A beautiful book to explore, mostly photographs expertly framed very little to read which I appreciated much.

I will add this quote of wisdom also learned "Attention is devotion." - Anonymous
