HT2405 - I Am Not a Landscape Photographer

Don't get me wrong, I do photograph the landscape.

For example, I have a project that is solitary trees in a vast landscape. The project is not about the solitary trees, but about how I was feeling after my wife passed away. Photography as metaphor, as Minor White advised us to photograph what else it is.
