HT1001 - Creating a World

For reasons I need not get into, I just finished reading all seven volumes of the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling. It occurred to me that part of the reason these novels are so successful is that they create an entire world that is fascinating. The novels are plot driven, but the world in which the plot unfolds is equally fascinating. Sometimes this same idea can apply to photography. Think of the worlds created by Duane Michals, Joel Peter Witkin, Keith Carter, and Sally Mann.
