Landscape

Everyone must think your a cop with a dash mounted radar unit lol.

Much simpler than all that. I have a tri-pod mount sewn into a bean bag, such that I can mount any camera and it will stay on the dash. A cable release is use to fire the shutter.

tis photograph is beautiful. i love auto-photos ! the composition
wtth the hard vertical and horizontal elements big sky, mountains
and the turbines that look ...
like dandelions or some other crop of flowers ..

John,
Over the past week as I viewed your work I kept thinking, "he sees things like I do." Although I have not posted them, I have so many pictures that related to pictures you take. For example, your two pictures from the cafe table - - every time I sit at a table like that, I usually - to the annoyance of my wife - take pictures of the arrangement of salt and pepper shakers, glasses, people's hands and so on. The unusual views you capture are also keen to me. I get them right away. Same thing with "waiting rooms".

Now, as to "roads" I literally have hundreds of photos like the one you just commented on. I LOVE roads, bridges, big highway trucks tumbling along them, for me that IS the "landscape." I almost never take a landscape photo that doesn't contain man's additions and his machines. A hundred years ago guys would take photos of a heard of buffalo. Today, I see a group of huge trucks rumbling and I think of them as the modern herd of buffalo.

In the end, everything in in the photo are just shapes, colors, lines to be arranged in a composition that will look nice when flattened into 2-dimensions. Truck or Buffalo, makes not much difference to the composition.

couldn't agree more !

everything is waiting to be photographed as far as i am concerned
there is a lot of interesting stuff all around us, we don't have to go far ..
and your perspective about trucks cars and buffalo is spot on.
its a herd on a asphault field
i had this gig years ago documenting bathrooms at army and navy facilities
nothing like an explosion proof soap dispenser
