On Learning To See - Confessions of a Copycat Photographer, March 2, 2009
Good stuff, Lon! Very well written and an excellent take on the subject.  I strive to create my own work, but if I am at an icon location and conditions are good, you can bet I will be shooting. I love the view from Tunnel View and will get out the camera if it is happening. So what if it has been done 10,000 times? I also like to go places from which I have never seen images. It all works.
On The Essential Landscape: Don't Be An Idiot, February 8, 2012
Great article, Guy. These forum pages are covered with the suffering of the photographer to get the posted image. No offense to the poster, but who cares? It might make the image more special to the photographer who endured the alleged suffering, but is otherwise irrelevant to the image. Beautiful images in the article, BTW.
On Guy Tal - Stories of My Generation, September 5, 2012
Excellent, Guy. As I wander the downtown of my hometown, I am astounded by the consumerism mentality of the population at large. Buy, buy, buy, more, more, more. What is the latest fashion, the latest rage. Who cares? I, for one, don't. I suspect your grim forecast for the future of mankind is all too probable. It is the one thing that makes me take great comfort in my advancing age. I won't be around to live like that. We can embrace the wilds while we can. The future is, well, off in the future.
