"I think landscape photography in general is somewhat undervalued." - 365 Project, Day 265

I've mentioned before I so urban landscapes, given my currently living in the city.  I'm not sure if landscapes are undervalued, but it seem the focus is on other things.  To be fair, most of the world has been available for photographers for more than 150 years or so.  If one wants to photograph, say, a film premiere, there is only a 2- or 3-hour window to do such a thing.  Landscapes, then, become slightly less important, as, say, the Hollywood sign will be there tomorrow.

The danger is that, because there are movie premieres, sporting events and various other, fleeting, things to shoot, landscapes may be relegated to the back of the mind, and only important if all other things are shot.  In that case, who will do landscapes?  The bright side, though, is that there is already 150-plus years of landscape photography to admire if people don't get around to it for the next 150 years.

Once again, I was walking outside at night for this one particular shot, but got sidetracked.  To be fair, it is Sunday night, but trying to find any stretch of time where this generally-busy thoroughfare contains absolutely nobody - car, person, bike, bus, what-have-you - is nearly impossible.  It's an empty busy street.

The next couple of days, for some reason, seem nice to me.
