This course in landscape photography has been a journey, a struggle, a development. There have been many hurdles along the way, and life interfered too much in my dream world of photography.
Reading through my writings, what stands out to me is my strive towards finding out what landscape means to me. I have been working with the old course material, but have read through the new landscape course. It seems really exciting and I wish I had been able to follow that course, as I think I would have been forwarded in the right direction faster. It was difficult to realise that landscape photography can be so much more, and express thoughts and feelings, when the course exercises ask for moonlit water etc.
When I started the course, I figured that I should take traditonal landscape vistas, but through the course I have realised it doesn't have to be like that. It's interesting to look back over the images I have produced. In the beginning the images are more traditonal, and then the "alternative" develops. In any case, I'm please to say that all the images I have produced for the assignments are true to myself, and represents something of me.
