More than forty years ago, Richard S. Buswell chose the relics of
Montana's past as his raw material. Over time, in five books, he
has sharpened his focus, moving from panoramic vistas of abandoned
buildings to meticulously composed, tightly framed depictions of
natural and man-made objects against stark black backgrounds. He
has shifted the viewer's attention from his subjects to the form
and structure of his pictures. Although rooted in Buswell's
experience as a lifelong Montanan, the photographs in this book are
no more (or less) "about" Montana than James Joyce's Dubliners,
Portrait of an Artist, or Ulysses are "about" Dublin. Most books
about Western ghost towns and historical artifacts abound in
sentiment. They comfort us with the illusion that we can recover
what has been lost. What They Left Behind reminds us that time
carries us onward despite our wishes to remain in the past.
