Is Photography Art? A great soccer manager, who, when asked whether football was a matter of life and death replied. "Nothing as trivial as that!"
This blog is intended to showcase the landscape photography of photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment.
>>>>As The Landscapist blog gains density and depth, I think you will find much interesting stuff buried in the Archives. IMO, it will be worth your time to explore a bit.
>>>> Email submission of photographs for publication are encouraged Not all photographs will be published. First consideration will be given to those photographs which, whatever their visual merits, instigate thought and discussion about the medium of photography. Photo files should be around 200k @ 72dpi with a maximum dimension of 900 pixels. Please include personal info and some words about any ideas regarding the medium that your photograph(s) addresses.
Comments, commentary and lively discussions are vigorously encouraged.
Have an interesting link? Let me know.
Navigation Tips: - The site is archived weekly. To view more photographs and commentary, go to ARCHIVES links.

Now I know I can be a supermodel too after all that hair, makeup and PS wizardry! UGH, no wonder people hate themselves for how they look when they try to look like something that doesn't exist or go on camping trips looking for that piece of nature that is portrayed by (insert name) with dramatic sunrises over mountains reflected in perfect tarns in perfect weather.
I am loving the "post foliage" season look. I like nature as she slowly releases her clothing. the subtle layers and soft colors are lovely and the decidious trees perfectly spaced.
I see the other site removed this objectionable material. I thought it was amazing how reality can be altered to benefit a purpose.
Just because animals don't have art directors and most species don't even have opposable thumbs to shoot commercials, doesn't mean they can get out of being guilty of vanity and these preconceived notions of beauty too!
After all, competition for leadership, mating and sometimes even social acceptance begins with an exhibition of colorful displays, brawn, beauty, athletic ability, etc...depending on the species. And even though they were trying to be sneaky about it and not advertise such behavior, we clever humans found a way to catch them on film and show the world that we are not the only ones doing this.
