    Funny list, but no, nothing of this. The problem with such lists is that they are ordered according to conventional motives. Okay, some people go for landscapes, cityscapes, cars, of insects. (Other categories are somewhat ludicrous, like the minimalist.) Still I feel that something is missing: even if you feel yourself perfectly well described as a landscape photographer, you may well ask yourself what is it you are looking for in a landscape, what do you take it to stand for - preservation issues perhaps, the longing for the pristine, the play of the light itself, dreams, whatever - I don't know, but this may in fact define much better what you are doing. Would be true for me in any case: what I am looking for in my photography - at the risk of sounding pompous - are metonymies which define thematic topics - or, rather than defining, point to them or even rock them. Also, not to forget, I believe in photography as a subjective medium rather than one which just depicts reality, that is, I believe in a personal perspective.

    How to categorise anything, I guess you really can't.

    I like landscape, but not too early in the morining!
    Sun is usually too bright, like some macro, and of course I like "speedshots" in motorsport.

    Must put up some Formula Ford shots from this season.
