Ansel Adams: Do you fight or embrace his influence on your landscapes?

[sun of sand]

I am highly suspicious of posts which chant "I" frequently, in particular as the first letter of a post, and when the poster suggests that we should adopt his view. The most annoying are from that person who seems compelled to reply several times a day to the same old tune. Just this one time, just this one post let me say "Nobody cares!"

You know who you are.

One project in the back of my mind is to photograph the USA's aerial infrastructure - the telephone, power, and cables that will eventually be buried. Any way one perceives them they remain remarkable.

I had that exact thought for a series just last week while heading towards a job west of D.C. in Virginia. A perfect little ridge and valley landscape interspersed with houses and powerline towers slicing right through it. Pretty and ugly at the same time.

All the telephone/power poles are gradually disappearing in Arlington. Becoming artifacts.
