Hi Bob,

Well I've never  been a big fan of AA and his zone sytem . But please let me 
say.... "I'll take your landsapes over his in the blink of an eye!  WHY!

AA's are merely big piles of rocks and ferns as sterile as a neutered Monk!

Yours on the other hand? They are alive, are awesome and just plain old 
fashion "damn that's a beautiful photograph!"  They bring life and 
inspiration for any landscape shooter!!

I like shooting landscapess, but I do them as a time for relaxation while 
coming down from some hard ass assignment of long hour days! It's trully an 
R&R time for me. I turn off my bionic ears and I'm basically in a world of 
silence with the land and my cameras.

cheers,
ted

Curious if folks feel that applies to landscapes too...
Are the majority of impactful landscape photos BW or color? or both?

I don't know if it's right to leave Adams out of the mix as he essentially 
has
defined landscape photography for our generation. Maybe try to think of more
recent landscape images that have impacted you.

Just curious as one who concentrates more on landscape photography...

TED GRANT
father of Canadian Photojournalism

When you photograph a man in color, you photograph his clothes. When you
photograph a man in B&W, you photograph his soul. - Ted
