Oh dear, I hope it doesn’t come to that. I remember reading something about a million years ago by one of the Magnum or Nat Geo photographers who described what they did when they were photographing a place that’s been done to death already. He would buy a load of postcards which showed the classic views, and spend a day or two going to those places, photographing them, and getting them behind him, out of the way. Then he could start looking at what’s in between them, that the tourists etc don’t look at. You can also make an effort to look at the stale subjects with a different eye. My favourite example of this is a photo of the Taj Mahal by Steve McCurry, to which I provide a broken link in an attempt to stop the server from blocking this email: htt ps://static.nationalgeographic.co.uk/files/styles/image_3200/public/21246.webp?w=430&h=323&q=100 -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
