End frame: “Below South Crofty” by Jem Southam
For some this picture is a mysterious invocation of the spirit of place, and yet for others is little more than an undisciplined snapshot, barely worth consideration as a "landscape photograph" at all. more

Eyes Make the Horizon
I moved to Marquette, Michigan, on the south shore of Lake Superior. I did this with the intention of creating a body of photographs as a response to my sustained presence in the Northern Great Lakes. more

Finding the forest when lost amongst the trees
In photography though that word implies the ability for artistic vision. The ability to isolate and focus on those visual elements that will be key to self expression. more

Trophy Hunting in Utah
Don’t knock trophy hunting, it’s OK once in a while, and they are trophy shots for a reason. more

End frame: Pale Shelter by Mark Littlejohn
Why am I drawn to it so much? I think the combination of the blizzard-like conditions, which produce a whiteout around the whole border of the image, added to the deep snow on the ground make for a truly beautiful winter scene. more

Limestone Landscapes
One rock stands out, to me, as just that little bit different, that little bit special – limestone. Limestone has a story to tell like no other, a story that spans the vastness of geological time and yet one that continues on a scale more comprehensible to humans. more
