Can you imagine re-visiting the same location night after night armed with your medium format camera and tripod, and photographing the same image at the same time for over a year?  This ritual has been an integral part to the work of Miriam Johnson and her obsession with two particular sites in New Mexico and New York have forced her to return consistently over the past 10 years. She has hundreds of negatives of essentially the same shot, with only cloud or light offering the slightest variation from one another.
