New Project; Landscape, Aerial Photography and Mapping 1914-1918

One of my landscape projects at present is working on the relationship between landscape, aerial photography and mapping in the First World War, and will be posting some of the results on this blog. My earlier books (Topography of Armageddon, Artillery's Astrologers, Rats Alley) have looked at this relationship, but my new study is taking a deeper look at aspects such as phenomenology and photogrammetry.
