Hi Annsan I think it's an amazing shot. Almost 3D - the mountain pops out compared to the sky! Not an ordinary postcard. Maybe it really is art! Jens

Sigh... In the middle of the night I was wakeful and turned on my bedside radio to NPR - the replay of Leonard Lopate's inerview with Clifford Ross was on. This morning, a friend sends me the link to the site showing the photo. It pisses me off. This guy took a year to make this kinda pretty but rather ordinary postcard photo a 5 x 10 foot print? (1) Looks better to me with a good chunk trimmed off the bottom (2) surely the mountain has a name. Couldn't he tell us what it is and where the photo was taken? (my first guess, not doing and research really was Mt. Shasta. (3) Ross stresses that he is doing this for art's sake - yet to me it is mainly a technical tour de force. Anyone else have a simliar reaction? (Or the oppoiste?) annsan http://users.rcn.com/annsan http://www.cliffordross.com/R1/R1-image.html
