My feeling is that Tumblr primarily encourages clean and beautiful pictures of landscapes and architecture — those featured tag streams are gorgeous, but to me can feel fantastical and sometimes even monotonous. Perhaps that’s a conscious decision made by those tag editors, I’m not sure. But reality exists: landscapes that are filthy, unfriendly, and/or altered by humans in repulsive ways. To me, photographs of these alternative landscapes are worthwhile because they remind us that our conceptual and collective romanticism of nature is a dream. A dream that should be not just lusted after on a computer screen and in our minds, but one that should be sought out by correcting our past and current mistakes as best we can in the physical world.
In other words, let’s create less goddamn trash.
