I was told years ago that my images looked like 'calendar shots'. I took this to be a compliment...until I realized it wasn't. I had a very good customer, Paul Rezendes, who made a fine living shooting color landscape calendars with a 4x5 camera, thank you very much. But I do concede the point. Without a person or other conflicting element, landscapes can be just eye-candy for the wall to be glanced at and dismissed.
Even the minor drama of the wonderful fall light makes this one work for me. Not fine art, but fun.
