Here is something I've been thinking about regarding landscapes, so I thought I'd hang it out to get other opinions from my esteemed LF friends:
Before the camera, before the film, before the lens. Before the understanding of theory or the honing of craft, even before the understanding or perception of style and art, there is a notion---no, its more than a notion, an understanding, knowlege(faith? maybe revelation?) that the world is indeed a "magical" place. A place where the sun, moon, stars, the sea, and countless geological, animal and atmospheric "things" are happening, not randomly but more like a symphony(like the tides, the movements of stars, and the migration of birds) This would be the first step to the desire to take(or make) a photograph of a part of it.
What do you think??
Cheers!
