Details

Details tell stories. We don't need a series of 12 photos showing firefighters throwing water on the fire. We only need one or two of those in the story. We need closeups- maybe an image of the affected family crying over the salvaged family photos. Maybe a shot of a fireman walking away after the fight looking utterly exhausted. Maybe a shot of an ash covered toilet. Stories live in the closeup.

In essence- the very instinct of landscape photography wants to go against good story telling. How can the details really show the overall sense of grandeur and personality you can find somewhere like the Mission Mountains?

I'll have to figure that out I guess.

Oh yeah, here's another photo. I went up Mt. Sentinel just to play around in some good evening light. Here's a shot of my Nalgene I took at sunset.
