Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I think a desolate plain needs landscape.

(The clue is in the name!)

Kris, I imagine you are trying to say something about emptiness and insignificance, but it might be better if you had the shrine much closer to the camera, with the lone and level sands stretching far away (to quote Shelley).

At first glance I thought the wreath was a chicken. The details aren't clear enough, I'm afraid - it wasn't till I saw the 'He was only 31' caption that I realised what it was.

I'm probably not the best person to comment on this - in general, I have a particular dislike for images whose meaning is only clear by reading their caption. But FWIW, I agree with George, and the idea is a good one. It's tough to photograph featureless landscapes in an interesting way.
