About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

>>>> Comments, commentary and lively discussions, re: my writings or any topic germane to the medium and its apparatus, are vigorously encouraged.

FYI ~ an invitation

Over the past 18 months or so since The Landscapist has been around, I/we have blithered, babbled, blathered, and bloviated about many topics, photography-wise. For me, the exercise has served to expand, refine and define my thoughts, not only on the medium of photography in general, but also on what I'm doing with the medium in particular. It also seems that some of you have benefited from or at least enjoyed the experience as well.

While I am not at the point where I want to say "Thanks very much. It's been fun. Hope to see you around someday", I am at the point where I have made some decisions about what to do with the 700+ pictures that I have created over the last 4 years and that endeavor is going to take quite a bit of energy and time, at least a portion of which I am going to have to borrow from that which has been devoted to The Landscapist.

This does not mean that there won't be daily entries or that The Landscapist will be slowly fading into the sunset. What it does mean is that, for the purpose of ensuring that neither the former nor the latter happen, I am extending an invitation for Contributing Writers.

There are plenty of you out there who are smart cookies and pretty damn good photographers to boot. How about coming out of the shadows and sharing some of your thoughts, ideas, questions and pictures with The Landscapist audience. And a damn good audience it is - I have been delighted with the intelligence, curiosity and civility of those who hang around the place. My appreciation and thanks to all.

Send me an email if you are interested.
