Unless I'm mistaken, it suggests that to Brett, "near-far" compositions can appear contrived... even Ansel's. As the author points out: "Brett almost never used a wide angle."
Whatever else it may mean, it's a clever play on words.
Thanks for posting that link. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
Remembering Brett on his birthday. Born on December 16, 1911.
Hoisting a glass of my best "snake medicine" in his honor this evening. Long live his memory.
Over at The Online Photographer Mike Johnston has another one of his great deals running. Lodima Press is offering the 10 ( out of 19 to be published) currently printed Brett Weston portfolios for half off when used with a TOP coupon code. Good until 12/21.
That guy has an eye for worthwhile books on photography and is friends with a number of great photographers who he regularly gets to offers special sales on their work. He's cost me quite bit of $$ since I discovered TOP. None of which I've regretted parting with.

There's mosquitoes on the river, fish are rising up like birds. It's been hot for seven weeks now, too hot to even speak now, did you hear what I just heard?
Merg, you post that as if you were there. I didn't think you were that old.
I haven't watched the videos, but I hope someone in there does a Brett voice impression.
Happy Birthday BW
