>>2975094That's an odd question, and I guess you'd have to define exactly what makes a landscape. I'd possibly return to my project on the oil industry which could be considered more documentation of the changes to a landscape. I hope I don't get in trouble with the landscape police, I don't want to end up shooting real estate and weddings...
>>2975096Glad to hear it!
>>2975097Absolutely! When I was 18 or so an ex gf of mine bought me a beginners book on photography by John Fielder. He's Colorado's old-time 4x5 photographer and his name is known throughout the state. Today, I'm not sure I admire his work as much as I did back then but he sure planted a seed and inspired me tons. It was great to meet him and tell him that several years ago. In more recent years I've been very inspired by Edward Burtynsky it was wonderful to finally see his photos in person last month. I was also greatly inspired by a guy I met on Flickr named Mike Stacey (while he was still shooting landscapes, his shit got weird with trashy girls as of late) and Murray Fredericks. I love people that can simplify landscapes to nothing but a few lines and shapes.
I haven't really studied art in a formal setting at all. I just find inspiration through the internet and honestly National Geographic. I read that magazine cover to cover every month and have for years. Music? I'm not a huge music buff and listen to it most while biking so it's usually stuff with a good beat to pump me up.
