Ireland 1956 by Peter Bock-Schroeder

"You don't need special cameras or highly expensive photographic equipment for landscape photography. What counts is the perception, the eye. Nor do you have to travel half way around the world to take landscape photos. A street you see every day of your life and that never seemed to be of any particular interest can suddenly become a fascinating motif if you really look at it closely. Just as tastes have changed in the art of painting over the decades, they have also changed in photography, and especially in landscape photography. I always try to capture something extra in the landscape, because as I said, the photo journalist's landscape is not willows by the river or beeches in the fog, it is much more a disturbed landscape. Just as the landscape forms the people, and I could cite numerous examples of this, people also put their mark on the landscape." - PBS 1956
