Mount Fromme, Lynn Peaks, and Dog Mountain from Burnaby, B.C.

The image should be complex (its pieces should form a complicated relationship; it shouldn't be 'schematic' nor 'topographical,' nor neccessarily deadpan, like a real estate ad).

The image should invite explicit comparison with another (the 'quoted' or 'bitten' work) but should stress qualities which were 'defects' or 'throwaways' in the original. Mistranslation or dub remix, not literal recreation.

A photographic sequence structured like a musical score or comic strip composition, to provide moments of alternate tension and release (comparison with Chopin or Bach?) Ebb and flow. Organic metaphor: Active Pass tides. Easy rhythm -- the eye drifting in and out, first expansive, then micro-detail. Cumulatively undermining single point perspective, its implication of a static or fixed point of view.
