A good friend,
a photographer whom I greatly admire,
once told me that I didn't know the difference
between a "landscape" and a "scene."


"Ha!" I said.
(Yes, I literally said, "Ha!").
The difference is obvious.

Isn't it?

Who cares anyway.


No sense in getting hypertechnical.

Does it really matter if call something a seascape or landfallscene?

A pre-exxonvaldezprincewilliamsoundscene?

It's only important that
when these images are seen,
they provide a little bit of an escape.

I love this series of pictures. They all look so sunny and inviting, not dark and rainy/snowy like it is here. I am in serious need of some sunshine I think...

Oooh, lovely. I don't know the difference between a landscape or a scene, but I DO know the difference between naked and nude thanks to my fifth-grade art teacher. Does that count?

Thanks for the e-scape (and the landscapes)! My comfort is more with photographing people, so I get intimidated with landscapes. But your photos are a good reminder that I should be trying anyways!

I love photography, but have no idea what to do with a camera. You on the other hand do. Great pictures!

Fantastic.

By the way, isn't a scene something you make when your husband doesn't cuddle you?
