I don't like the lamppost sticking out from behind the sundial.

Is the shot art? Personal interest? History? Photo Journalism? Certainly it's not forensic. I'd clone the pole out in Photoshop unless there is a good reason not to.

I vaguely remember shooting the front of a clinic for a PR customer brochure or news letter. There was trash in the landscape, fast food junk. This must have been in the '80s. I had to pick up the trash as best as I could. I would not do that for PJ but did for PR. Today I'd pickup the worst and leave the smaller stuff to Photoshop. Public relations photography is the step sister of Photojournalism.

Anyway I remove telephone and electrical wires in some shots. They detract but there is no nefarious intention. Just a kinder or more pleasant representation of reality, not reality itself.

It's a mix between personal interest and photo journalism. Thanks for encouraging me, I've removed the lamppost in post.

It's been a long, non-productive week at my abode. I've been having problems with my right shoulder. Saw the doctor this week and he thinks it's a nerve impingement. He gave me some exercises, some steroid anti-inflammatories and said he may have to refer me to a specialist. Not happy. Not happy mainly because it's difficult or impossible to do overhand vertical shots. At least I have vertical battery grips for most of my Nikons but none for my Fuji X-Pros--they don't take such accessories. My parts are old and failing, I fear. But it's still all good even if it's not.

Anyway, it's horizontal only with the Fujis. And limited subject matter as well. My most agreeable (and always available) model seems concerned about the state of affairs. This is Christie the Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier shot with a Fuji X-Pro2 and 35/2 Fujinon lens.
