Haven't seen that book. I'll look for it. Now that you mention it, I
remember some photographs of trees, almost like portaits of trees, by a
19th century French photographer, that I saw in an art history class. I
liked them a lot, but the teacher showed them as sort of a sideline to his
"real" work.
