Hey Joe,
Glad to know I am not alone in my quest for people free pictures.

When I take pictures, I try to shoot them free of people, too. I get the same comments from them.

My "masterpiece" (such as it was) was when I did a "Where's Waldo" type shot with my kids and I on the Spanish Steps. I think my wife tolerates me, but I think she's concerned that the kids like to do these kind of things, too!

I love the "where's waldo" genre. I think it is hysterical.

I am a huge fan of the personless/bodyless photograph and/or painting.
And I do not believe that make's you a cheap artist. I believe that it makes you a person who doesn't wish to cheapen their art. I liken people who always have to have some dumbass standing uncomfortably in a photo or some contrived scene to bucolic landscape painters who always have to have a damned barn or a nearly collapsed old shed somewhere in the picture. Totally unnecessary. Pictures, paintings, photos, lithos, engravings, sketches, and all do not have to have a human element (that includes man-made objects) to be artistic. People in photos are overrated. Hell, for that matter, people are overrated.

I am an extremely cheap model
I will be glad to work with you. However, I am a notorious prima donna.

Pretty Cool!
My wife never likes me to take landscape pictures-she ALWAYS wants people. While I also enjoy having people in my photos, I'm with you. People can be a pain in the ass (geez, will they EVER stop the "ole-put-fake-horns-behind-someone's-head-because-it's-a-scream" routine?). For instance, my cousin always likes to flip the bird to the photographer (usually down the side of his pants, so it's not TOO obvious). What I've done with several of my photos is, somewhere off to the side, I'm tying my shoe. So, while you have this great picture of the Eiffel Tower, for example, if you look closely, I'm hovering over my shoe. I've taken a lot of pictures in this "Where's Waldo" motif: the Eifeel Tower, Masada, Independence Hall, St. Peter's, Venice, etc. When my wife complains about the landscape, I point out that I am actually in the photo. She's rarely amused.
Great post!
