I really enjoyed your article, Shital, and I definitely want to check out Robert Adam's work. The idea of geography, autobiography, and metaphor in landscape photography is fascinating and personally brings a new perspective I've only just started to explore. Have you seen any of Bryan Schutmaat's work? I was inspired to shoot some landscapes afterward and was fascinated by the results. I feel I was unconsciously incorporating those ideas by just really taking my time to explore a common environment but trying to make it more interesting. Also really love that first photo in your "Beach Series." I wonder what he's looking at!

Thanks much Kevin. No I haven’t yet checked out Bryan Schutmaat's work but will certainly do.

Hi Shital - I loved this, especially your Dal Lake photographs! It is so interesting to think of the men removing the weeds, and I think your use of black and white for those photos was a great choice! I look forward to seeing more!

Very interesting and thought provoking! Seems to me that the meaning making process involves the viewer and her context as well.

Nice piece, well argued even though I completely disagree! I think photographs are largely meaningless.
