"Natural Features": Hollis Frampton himself would use this title

Guvor Nelson's "Natural Features" is a series of shots of cars, flowers, humans, architecture etc. Anything that is a Natural feature on the globe. The shots were beautifully composed and abstracted. Giving the amazing natural features a very interesting twist on something not always that interesting. The shots were cropped tightly with amazing attention put into the light. The movie was exactly about what Nelson decided to title it. Titles do not always tell you what the movie is about about, especially if you follow Hollis Framptons rules. He say that whatever appears in the movie the most is what the movie is all about. I think Guvor Nelson use this to his advantage and makes a beautifully crafted film about Natural Features.
