Thanks Thom
Like it much, Armin

Thank you. I have several of DM's books, and enjoy them immensely. Interestingly, however, is that I can't think of a single really timeless image. Perhaps that's what separates the great photographers from the competent ones.

I've been a Muench fan for many years. I can think of numerous Muench photographs that, in my opinion, are timeless. I can't remember the titles but I can see the photographs in my head right now. Photographs I haven't actually viewed in years that stick in my mind today. Muench has influenced a whole generation or two of color landscape photographers and, again in my opinion, he's still the best of them all.

The type of photography Muench does is nothing like the type I like to do but, damn, the man is good at it!

Good interview Thom. I first got interested in landscape photography because of David Muench. While I still think of him as one of the masters, I much prefer the work of Jack Dykinga or Joe Cornish. But, DM is really the father of modern landscape photography.
