Alan, I'm totally baffled by that statement.
Your whole universe is about technical excellence is it not? Do you mean you 
aren't interested in landscape photography? HCB made a similar statement 
about Ansel Adams. Perhaps you worship at that church? I've just been to the 
Ansel Adams gallery in Yosemite and more importantly some of the places 
where he created magical photographs. I can't think of anything more 
inspiring or uplifting for me. I have NEVER been more emotional as a 
photographer than to see valley view with swirling snow clouds around the 
mountains.

cheers
LAX Geoff
