Robert Betka — Small scale landscape photographs, small scenes, intimate landscapes

William Neill’s images and essays also inspired my interest in this genre (if it can be classified as such) and led me to discover Eliot Porter’s evocative images in his books Intimate Landscapes and Nature’s Chaos. I happen to live in a geography that has few of the grand landscapes of the West that dominate landscape photography, so I have begun to search for the small scenes that lie deeper within the natural world, particularly those that reflect nature’s infinite complexity, order/disorder, and fractal properties.
