Amy Stein's Domesticated Series

These compelling photographs are from Amy Stein's Domesticated series. I read somewhere (perhaps in a Bill Bryson book) that the North American continent actually contains more acres of wilderness  than the African one. These pictures beautifully evoke our strained relationship to the wild -- both to the external wilderness and to the wildnerness within ourselves. Gorgeous. Although I'm very glad to say we don't have foxes eating our garbage in addition to the squirrels infesting our attic, the ants devouring our porch, the pigeons crapping acid all over our roof, and the unidentified thing living under the deck that likes to steal Luke's dirty diapers.

There is a lot of very lovely wilderness in Northern Canada and Alaska. Not a lot of people know this because there has never been a Michael Palin travel series about it.

Choice: Keep it quiet and keep it lovely or give Michael a call and have your wilderness overrun by tourists reciting The Dead Parrot Sketch.

Ooh, I love these, too. There is something fairy-taley about them, too, but perhaps that is just the use of those common fairy tale animals.
