I place my camera bag and tripod on a grassy mound and turn and begin pacing, slowly back and forth, along the narrowed path. I feel excited, and as always when I begin working, a little tentative. It is like being confronted with a massive jig-saw puzzle, a thousand pieces to contend with. My eyes search the landcape with a heightened awareness, and I seem to slip into an instinctive automation, something like a finely calibrated machine. Bit by bit, each minute detail begins to take on a life of it's own. I kneel down and strain to 'compose' where each piece will fit into the puzzle.
