An example of romanticism and photography?
Wynn Bullock, Driftwood Tree Trunk, 195, silver gelatin print
A mystical sensibility underlies most of Bullock’s work in his treatment of both the landscape, in which he uses long exposures to create primordial dreamlike vistas and in his close-ups of trees and rocks which often reveal masks and bodylike forms.
Does the mystical sensibility signify romanticism?
Wynn Bullock, The Limpet, 1969 , Gelatin silver print
So what would romanticism look like in an urban photography?Would it focus on decay and destruction?

I cannot stand all the passive nude women lying around in nature in Bullock's landscape shots. nude woman are of nature and not persons in society.
