"By turns elegiac and sweet and sad and funny and inscrutable, and
also unfailingly beautiful. Diary/Landscape is a fine and too-rare
example of the type of book that offers much imaginative space in
which the viewer may--indeed, must--roam."-- "Tim Carpenter,
Photo-Eye"
"Welling is doubtless among the greatest conceptual artists
utilizing photography anywhere in the world today. The
Diary/Landscape pictures are cornerstones in this artist's output
that deal with place and the very history of this medium, but also
the essence of photography; time, memory, and death."--James
Crump
"Welling is one of the most important photographers of our period.
A few photographs from Diary/Landscape have seen print before, but
this is in a sense a new work, transforming the pictures we already
knew by returning them to the complete series, published here for
the first time."--Walter Benn Michaels
