Still another tour group, yet this one is far different from the group in the previous image. There is less regimentation, more people, more excitement, and far greater diversity in dress and attitude. This group is crowded together on the top deck of a riverboat, viewing some of the most spectacular scenery on earth – the towering jagged domes of limestone that line China’s Li River. You can sense its energy from this image. We make pictures such as this not as works of photographic art – there is no real sense of composition to this image. Its value as expression rests in its chaotic, random form. The jumbled image works to reinforce the act of 25 or 30 people all viewing the same thing, each in their own way. We may not see what they are seeing, but we can certainly feel what they must be feeling. People point, look, photograph, wonder, and even chat. By turning our cameras on groups behaving as groups, we can increase the variety of human values and incongruous relationships present in an image.
