he is stationed with william tecumseh sherman in chattanooga, tennessee. he will follow sherman to the siege of atlanta. he will live in atlanta while sherman's troops occupy it he will accompany sherman on the march to the sea to savannah. he will go on to charleston to columbia, south carolina and to richmond and what he chronicles is nothing less than the dismantling of the southern way of life. i want you to come in and take a close. look at these photographs for two reasons. first of all, they're drop dead gorgeous and the depth of field the ability for him to focus is so intense you feel like you could reach in and pull out individual rocks his ability to set a camera is really nothing short of extraordinary. but i also want you to think about it in terms of his northern audience the people back home who would have seen these photographs. there is a little bit of barnard in there going. it's easy for you to go. life back to life as usual after the war new york doesn't look like this philadelphia doesn't look like this not even baltimore and washingto
