Landscape Photography That pricks the unThought Known and aims, primarily, at being true, not at being beautiful because, what is true is most often beautiful.

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.

Yeah I guess for what it is, no light leaks makes it worthless!!
But it does have a special quality to the images in respect to DOF.
It is something I just didn't care about when out with the "toy camera".
Jim,
It may not have the light leaks, but it still has that something special to it that says "Holga". I like your choice of subject to. The light and DOF falloff works well with it and I love the B&W.!
I am always a bit suspicious of photographs of "old" things (read: nostalgia), but this comes together really nicely with the beer case. I hope the holga proves to be an engaging journey and I look forward to more.
