Painting a landscape involves and shows a piece of the physical plane over a period of time--it is influenced, visited, &amp; &quot;lived with&quot; by the painter; a successful landscape is alive and full of breath because the artist has chosen to interact with it in a creative &amp; constructive relationship. I think. :~)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30250385.post-73289139240595421812008-06-08T06:48:00.000-04:002008-06-08T06:48:00.000-04:00Basically right, but:<BR/>Photography CAN also be like a meditation with a LONG period of not yet clicking. Then it may end with that "stab with a knife". I recently saw a feature about a German female photographer who does that. She said she was a keen watcher of things, and only sometimes does she take a picture. But then it is "the shot". Most important is what comes before the final click!Lorenznoreply@blogger.com
