Sunset in the Badlands

It amazes me I still look for how many comments or visits there are to my images. When I look at stats I am setting expectations and that is not what I want to do. My hope is that my images will say something to me and others, to move me and others. I shoot because I cannot shoot. There is something inside urging me to look for images and every so often being pleased with the results. Darn those expectations. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

So true Monte, I really love this image. One thing photography
has done for me is to make me see light....I look for light
, the effects of light, the different shades of light...God
is light and in that I see him....

This is beautiful with the light and the rhythm of the textures of the land.
I'm still looking at stats because I am a competitor in no matter what I do.

I know exactly what you mean. I used to be obsessed with the stats... then I finally realized it didn't mean anything. I still get perturbed by some comments, but I try not to let them bother me. This is a gorgeous sunset!
