II$22.00The Roman poet Ovid said time was %u201cthe devourer of all things.%u201d Even though our contemporary buildings and machines will also eventually turn to dust, I can%u2019t imagine them ever having the dignity of a forlorn country church with no congregation, or a battered and rusted tractor no longer able to plow. To me, that which was built many decades ago often retains a presence, a vitality%u2014a spirit%u2014that%u2019s rarely found in today%u2019s complex, plastic-infested society. It%u2019s this soulful, aging, built environment I am compelled to record on film%u2014before it%u2019s completely devoured by time.John Bowerfrom the Preface toLingering Spirit
