Apropos of nothing, I thought I'd post a picture of the chambered tomb at Isbister, in the Orkney Islands. In 1985, thanks to a travel prize from my high school, I spent the summer wandering around the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, looking at Neolithic tombs and standing stones. The archaeological impulse subsequently deserted me, but I still have piles of pictures and notes from that expedition. For better or worse, my photographic style hasn't changed a great deal in the intervening quarter-century.
