# Tim Carpenter: Little - Hardcover

by **Tim Carpenter** (Photographer)

**An unassuming sequence of 42 medium-format photographs depicting slivers of the semirural landscape of Central Illinois**

Tim Carpenter's (born 1968) _Little_ is a visual memoir that completes a trilogy rooted in the sensibility and approach to the practice of "camera" he elaborated in the best-selling, book-length essay _To Photograph Is to Learn How to Die_ (2022). In other words, he steadfastly upholds photography's capacity to bridge the gap between self and other, and to cultivate meaning in an alienating world. Less formally rigorous than _Local Objects_ (2017) and less introspective and linear than _Christmas Day, Bucks Pond Road_, this new installment channels the perspective of a child's meandering mind, open to possible meanings, absorbing whatever the eyes encounter--marks, buildings, branches, paths, the daylight of a Central Illinois afternoon--nascent symbols everywhere, fleeting images improvised of mind and matter. Adapting a style in the lineage of the New Topographics photographers--Robert Adams, John Gossage and Lewis Baltz--these black-and-white photographs are affecting in their minimalism, imbuing poignance within the banal composites of the Midwestern landscape. The volume itself is beautifully produced with a flush-cut cover treatment and a foil-stamped title.
