Places to Go; Places to Think About - Page Four


Some photographs aren't about people. Some are just places.

Even when there is an occasional person walking about in the snap, the picture is really about the place.

Here is a collection of such photographs; snapshots from a vacation or just a photo of a building, or a mountain, or a street. Maybe you'll see something familiar. IF you can identify any of these places, add it in the comment section.

As the real estate people say it: Location, location, location.

    Two of those, the Ansaszi ruins, look like they might be at Chaco Canyon.

    You know, it's odd, but I rarely find landscape photos. I don't think antique dealers figure they'll sell so they don't put them in the bins. You've got some great ones here.

    Thanks Tattered and Lost. I found photographs on the net, taken near Aztec, New Mexico that are similar to these, but nothing conclusive. Definitely the same culture.

    I agree, that’s probably what happens. The dealers probably just toss them out. The landscape photographs that I do find are often part of an untouched family album or in a bag of photographs, added no doubt to bulk up the bargain.

    Certainly an intriguing selection. I was about to say those ruins were to me the most intriguing, but perhaps I got ma answer in that previous comment(?!?)...
    :D~

    Thanks Ticklebear. I am glad you enjoyed the page. It's page four of an on-going collection.

    Sometimes they get identified; sometimes not.

    Maybe,also, people tended not to take as many landscapes (unless Uncle Fred was in the foreground!)

    Thanks Tony. You are right. Working in a photo finish shop as a teen, I learned the general philosophy of many amateur photographers: If a picture doesn't have someone in it, it's a mistake.

    Even when it was an intentional attempt at a scenic photo, the little box camera usually wasn't up the task and the print got discarded because everything was "too far away."
