Very nice.
It is commendable that the closure issues were absent from this article.

But Al still takes a shot. All he needed to be fair was the word 'some'.

“The more I photographed, the more I became an advocate for the Pine Barrens, some of which already has been marred by off-road vehicle drivers who intentionally veer off roads and trails and destroy conservation landscape like it is a motorsports arena." - Al Horner

Darn Sixer, you snapped my little olive branch right at the base.

"...he grabs his camera equipment and heads out in his sport-utility vehicle for an especially beautiful spot deeper in the Pinelands."

He could be compaired to the many he dislikes, and I like that LoL.

“Many days I went to a specific site, but on other days I just rode into the forest to explore... said Horner, who has been traveling through the Pinelands since he was a boy."

Glad you enjoyed it for 69years, how about letting the next generations do the same.

"...And as I am watching the sun move across the landscape, I wonder why there is no one else there to watch it."

Wonder why? Seems thats how you want to keep it.

Maybe someone is even deeper in the woods watching it!

Ever notice that the most vocal pro-MAP people are the ones who are making a buck off the Pines?

It is almost 100 percent that way. With almost being an important word.

Al is one of the most effective advocates the Pine's has ever had, and the best photographer.

Depends on your definition of advocate and what he is advocating for Jason.

Not to be argumentative, he is far from the best. Good yes; but I've seen better, quite a bit better. I would say he is one of the best at using the Pines for his benefit.

I've seen one or two of yours on Facebook that I thought were much better.

I appreciate that Ben, thank you. My opinion, more specifically, is that Al's body of landscape work is unmatched. Many people have been able to create wonderful photographs in the Pines, but I do not think anyone has crafted so many great landscapes over such a wide range of environments. That is one of the reasons I consider him so effective an advocate, Al has been able to show many people from in and outside our area the beauty of Pines that seems for some to be difficult to perceive.
