Photo Essay by Robert Haspel “T he Big Bend region over- flows with grand land- scapes, but I often find smaller details capturing my attention, and this sampling represents that effort. The diverse subjects seen in this series of photos are tied together by a theme of simplicity. Simplicity pres- ents the viewer a clear center of inter- est, with few distractions. What is left out often is a factor in the success of an image. Keeping with the concept of sim- plicity, I’ll let these photos do my talk- ing, and offer only brief captions. If an image needs a story, I’d rather it be the viewer’s, not mine.” 8 Cenizo Fourth Quarter 2017
