Landscape Photography
The first evidence of the use of photography about Philippine panorama as the bases for illustrations in printed publications, such as magazines and travel guides, was an 1875 book by Fedor Jagor. Translated into Spanish, Jagor’s Reisen in der Philippinen, was considered as one of the best travel books that recounted his Philippine journeys in 1859 and in 1860.

Famous quotes containing the words landscape and/or photography:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Too many photographers try too hard. They try to lift photography into the realm of Art, because they have an inferiority complex about their Craft. You and I would see more interesting photography if they would stop worrying, and instead, apply horse-sense to the problem of recording the look and feel of their own era.”
—Jessie Tarbox Beals (1870–1942)
