Hi Pat,

My way of thinking on this is that I have a portfolio of landscapes that
have my own signature style. It may be divided into sets; themes, periods,
places, etc but I have yet to distinguish my infrared photographs from my
T-Max of Tri-x images. To me it's almost like distinguishing images
according to what filter I used or paper I printed on. I use infrared simply
for the effect I want to achieve in a certain setting. It may sound trite
but you have to love what your doing and hope that others, your market, will
appreciate your work as well.

By the way, 1st place for best landscape photograph in the 1996 Golden Light
Awards (Maine Photographic Workshop) was awarded to Domingo Batista for a
gorgeous infrared photo.
