The Thing Itself
Edward Weston’s thoughts on photography are peppered throughout his Daybooks (journals predominantly covering the period 1922-1934). more
This is my truth, Tell me yours
The sheer delight in being faced by the lighting in the landscape from a sky on fire as the sun rises or sets can be some of the best medicines which can’t be prescribed by any doctor. more
Nature in the Netherlands
I am strongly considering giving nature in the Netherlands another chance and taking up a new book project here. But first, of course, I want to finish my project on European canyons. We really don't have those in the Netherlands! more
Embracing Opportunity
Over the course of the last few months, we have experienced what feels like a record-breaking amount of rain. The land around me is in a constant flux of flooding. more
Landscape as Visual Haiku
Most visual haiku images to be found are not linked to words, though there are examples where images have been used as a basis for haiku, or as in the Forms of Japan, existing haiku have been chosen to accompany an image. more
Lost & Found in Fog
Some things that are lost are tangible, though no more precious than those bits of ourselves we lose along the way, like the inspiration that fled from my life when I chose career over creativity, stability to be free to stability from want and need. more
On Landscape Revisited
When I originally proposed the idea of On Landscape to my wife Charlotte over fourteen years ago, I would never have thought that it would have lasted as long as it has. On this 300th issue, I decided to take a look back at all of those previous issues to pick out some highlights for you to revisit (if you haven’t already).

Know thy Subject
If you want to become a better nature photographer, you should dedicate more time to learning about your subject rather than photography. more
Terra Silva
Terra Silva are two Latin words. They loosely mean "the land of the forest". Since this project is about forests and trees and since my native language is a direct descendant of Latin, I thought it would be a fitting title. more
Sketching Down in the Bottoms
Here in the forested mountains and limestone farming valleys of eastern West Virginia(US), wooded river and stream bottoms bristle with terrain features, vegetation communities, habitats, ecological dynamics, and natural architectures that I can’t resist. more
Cloud Allusions
In this series of three articles, my intention is to examine some ideas about the practise of landscape photography in the light of the teachings of Zen Buddhism. more
Is Intimate the new Grand?
Intimate landscapes, on the other hand, offer the photographer much more freedom. The possibilities are almost endless. more
Yuki Kamishima – Portrait of a Photographer
I find myself most enamoured by their intricate and beautifully constructed abstract photographs. The way that Yuki leverages light and composition to showcase the smaller details found in winter has me returning to their work repeatedly. more
The Art of Mystery
As a photographer working to inspire an attitude of conservation in a world that values natural places less and less each day, I intentionally create images to show others that wilderness has much more to offer us in its unspoiled state than anything we could possibly extract from it materially more
A Door in Tannerre
Unless Art Wolfe reads this text, he will never know about his impact on my photographic journey. Like him, we too, by simply practising our passions and sharing our stories, may never know who we may inspire and how we may flare up someone else’s creativity more
