A great quote from Lee Friendlander:
"Landscape! The subject of landscape as a photographic possibility is both pleasurable and very difficult. The subject itself is simply perfect, and no matter how well you manage as a photographer, you will only ever give a hint as to how good the real thing is. We photographers don't really make anything: we peck at the world and try to find something curious or wild or beautiful that might fit into what the medium of photography can hold. "

Leslie I hope you revisit the blog. I love this quote from Friedlander
ReplyDeleteand may forget to express my appreciation to you for bringing it to my attention. I am determined to get to something freer, maybe wilder. My landscapes have too much still life in them. Pam
