I've no idea what a timeless landscape is, I only know what photographers choose to show us:Excellent point. I don't know anything about Brit tourism (except from 60s movies) but that particular "touristy" location looks pretty dead in terms of "timeless-landscapes."
this reminds me of the photographer from russia ? FSU? who did all those photographs
with people commuting to work. they looked like black and white italian futurist paintings.
and the recent work of walter callahan .. what could be more touristy than a carnival ..
his photographs look like impressionist /futurist /abstract expressionist paintings ...
sure photographing touristy frequented places mobbed by people might not be everyone's cup of tea
but the images made at these places can be pretty interesting.
Somehow I don't think of Russians (or anybody) commuting to work as being "touristy."
Thanks for mentioning Callahan....please link to the "recent work" you mentioned.

Love his website ...but I don't see much tourism there. Maybe he's got better things to do with his cameras.
Does he even visit "touristy" places and photograph?....rodeos and Western cities/towns don't seem "touristy" to me...nor does Los Angeles itself.
Los Angeles comes to Westerners, not many go to it. It's an invasion more than tourist destination..

you obviously haven't seen any of the photographs i am refering to.
I answered with regard to the question in thread title. A "touristy" location infers the unavoidability of tourists.
sorry for your "trouble" eddie..
Why don't you answer John's question?

There are contrails over the Amazon and Japanese outboards on the boats. The natives wear Nike. The South Pole might be the place you're looking for?A timeless landscape is one in which there are no clues of when the photograph was taken, such as cars, billboards, signs, people [clothes provide clues]. I prefer to let nature tell the story.
I bet he learned it from Trump.IDK maybe he thinks if he doesn't respond you won't remember he said it
You have to wait until signs dating the image are out of view.There are contrails over the Amazon and Japanese outboards on the boats. The natives wear Nike. The South Pole might be the place you're looking for?
That seems rather precious.You have to wait until signs dating the image are out of view.

I don't like posters.It is and it is worth taking the time.

As you understand very well, my humour is reserved for people who believe landscape photographs denuded of any sign of human existence are more picturesque. The idea is at best old fashioned, and almost always derivative and clichéd. Touristy places are by definition full of tourists. To present them as otherwise is to misrepresent what such places have become.People who post? That would include yourself.
I never said, referred to, or in anyway talk about taking poster like photographs. Do you ever read what individual post or do you just spew out posts based on what you had for breakfast? Do not waste my time. You are not worth it.
