For each of us we have a lifetime of training about what we like. And then there are the thousands of years of accumulated history that add to that. So there are a lot of conventions to overcome.

You've really given me something to chew o...Mauro,<br /><br />You've really given me something to chew on. Your first link, the Enviroliteracy.org pdf, has a lot of material to work through. I'm beginning to understand your meaning of "stratification."<br /><br />An interesting point that the majority of fine art photography uses the aesthetic component of our feelings about the landscape. Of course one can find examples of Meinig's other nine ways a landscape can be labeled. But they tend to fall into the domain of advertising and commercial applications.<br /><br />Most of us do indeed photograph because we like the way something looks. Perhaps we need to investigate a bit deeper this surface motivation.<br /><br />Your methodology is beginning to come through to me, but it's still feeling somewhat amorphous. I'll keep reading, and perhaps it will become clearer.Kent Wileyhttp://www.manmadewilderness.comnoreply@blogger.com
