"To
many people, trilobites are
creatures of astonishing beauty. These creatures' primitive
appearance is deceptive, for they display an almost architectural
intricacy when observed
closely. One man who appreciates the myriad of trilobite
forms is Peter Cameron. His photographs
reveal a vision of diversity and complexity and intimate
familiarity with not only trilobites, but the locations
where they are found and the way they are brought to
light by the workers
that excavate their fossilized remains from solid rock.
As
a geologist for an oil company, he is required
to have extensive knowledge about the creatures whose remains
are indicators
of geologic time. As a photographer, Peter
allows us to look at the subtle details of an astonishingly
diverse group of
arthropods that ruled the seas for longer than
we can truly comprehend."
