You, only you, you
You at the hinge - and then the day. Walter Brueggemann, from "Awed to Heaven, Rooted in Earth"

Although violent and human forces may have created the main object, Bartlett provides visual
interest and psychological comfort by surprising us with an harmonious order. Perhaps, it is the
beneficent light - the kindest aspect of the fire element that gives warmth and life – that accords with the observer. Bartlett’s arresting photographs offer a perpetual opportunity to experience the natural world with an immediacy and freshness that few are able to find, as well as a lesson on how to behold.
