Every time I see the title to this thread I think it is going to be about people wearing waterproof pants and boots and carrying a shovel and a rake and a 35mm camera!
In Palm Springs, I guess they are less likely to be wearing gumbootsHardly a day goes by walking through the neighborhood when I don't see a Chevy pickup parked by someone's property, rakes and brooms in the truck bed, wooden ramps where the lawnmower was taken out, and the landscapers walking around, leafblowers strapped to their backs, while they point their SLR's at the vegetation.
Landscapers around here use digital p&s. Godless heathens...Hardly a day goes by walking through the neighborhood when I don't see a Chevy pickup parked by someone's property, rakes and brooms in the truck bed, wooden ramps where the lawnmower was taken out, and the landscapers walking around, leafblowers strapped to their backs, while they point their SLR's at the vegetation.
I have an sx-70 - can you get film for it??? Be interested in seeing those images of Yosemite.For the most part I agree with the many points you've mentioned in your posting. Most of my serious landscape work has been in medium format.
Related to the quote above I will offer one exception to the high-detail approach, which surprised me when I saw the results. In 2006, I was making photos in Yosemite and made a few also with my SX-70 of El Capitan and Half Dome. Those photos had a pastel watercolor-like appearance which I had scanned and enlarged to 8x10. They are on my wall now and look almost like paintings. They are probably among my favorites of all the photos I made.
I've always felt that Friedlander edited his images for about 30 seconds each and then said to hell with it.Lee Friedlander:

Yes his books are great, have two of themEddie Ephraums. I just picked up his Creative Elements book, both his work and the book are excellent. His style is pretty unique, lots of burning, dodging and bleaching. He accentuates the grain of the film and sometimes even diffuses the image.
It really threw me for a loop and makes me want to go back and revisit some of my 35mm negatives.
