Amazing photographers can shoot landscapes that are deeply compelling in their own right. Good photographers really can’t. There aren’t a lot of Ansel Adamses out there.

I have several coffee table art books, some of which have old west landscape pictures, and it's the people in them that make it work. Something I do with my friends is look at Annie Liebovitz portraits and try to recreate the ones we like.
