on landscape photography

these landscape photographs have all appeared in previous posts, from 2005-2010 (part of an ongoing recycle & reuse images whenever possible philosophy due to the sheer number of images accumulated). i decided to collate this small selection of photographs of the east anglian landscape in one 'place' as it were as a simple means of a personal review, having been lost & buried elsewhere in the 'blog'. these photographs were all taken from a humble point 'n' shoot perspective. there is the old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words but here the apparent air of mundane detachment or plain objectivity contained therein means they are perhaps unworthy of many words...suffolk fields, old airfield, passing place sign[a field, a 'passing place' sign]from previous post: passing places part ii may 2006...old airfield, overgrown by fields, suffolk[edge of old airfield, with rubble]from previous post: beware of banality december 2005...suffolk fields, old airfield, passing place sign[old airfield track and fields, a misty winter morning]from previous post: farmscape painting february 2010...[field, late afternoon]from previous post: on vacant and empty landscapes april 2010...[stubble field in winter, with ground frost, norfolk]from previous post: some secrets revealed november 2010...on a train, passing through the fens, winter fields[fields, seen from a train, the fens, winter]from previous post: passing places april 2006...[misty morning by the lake, winter]from previous post: mist opportunties again may 2010...[early morning mist, reflection of trees in lake water]from previous post: winter solstice december 2009...[high snow drift, a field, two trees and a farmhouse, winter]from previous post: from white snow to grey earth january 2010...[snow on ground, meadows, ditch, late afternoon light, winter]from previous post: walking, in winter, wander land december 2009...[hoarfrost on trees next to the lake]from previous post: the art of making soup january 2009...winter field, misty morning[field, early morning, winter]from previous post: mist opportunities january 2010...[the north sea, a view from dunwich cliffs, suffolk]from previous post: on vacant and empty landscapes april 2010...[covehithe cliffs, suffolk]from previous post: on vacant and empty landscapes april 2010...[salthouse marshes, north norfolk]from previous post: salthouse surveyed march 2009...[on southwold beach, the north sea]from previous post: two pebbles, a drawing october 2009...i used to take quite a few landscape photographs but i have not been very inclined to do so in more recent times. these landscape photographs seem no more 'vital' to me now than having just a memory of the time, place or location to draw upon. perhaps it is just photography fatigue. not only does it become all to easy (with digital cameras) to take yet another photograph but one feels simultaneously guilty for not taking a photograph, for not framing the moment as witnessed there and then. then, much later, one wonders whether it should be kept or erased, whether it has any lasting use, significance or meaning.from previous post: taking the scenic route april 2009to swiftly conclude, here is a photograph (not really a 'landscape' per se) of a lone seagull on a roof in the pleasant seaside town of aldeburgh, suffolk - all appears to be quite innocent, peaceful and calm......'thinking should be done beforehand and afterwards, never while actually taking the photograph.'henri cartier-bresson (as quoted in on photography, susan sontag)...
