I wouldn’t sell yourself so short, your OP in this thread alone proves that you’ve got some gears turning over.
this reminds me of the old “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?”
thinking about it in a different way, does one mountain look upon another in awe? I think you, me, Ansel Adams, or anyone else is by far the most important component in the relationship between themselves and the environment - at least when it comes to appreciating the importance, or if you like the beauty, of that very relationship.
As a ‘people photographer,’ my answer would be ‘Who cares!’
Joking aside, though, the genre you like is the genre you like; we all have different tastes in photography in the same way we all like different genres of music.
Anyway… where was I? Ah, yes… Trees are boring!
Again, just a joke. I think all you ‘landscape lovers’ are amazing — and if the standard of the photos on this forum are anything to go by , exceptionally talented to boot.
