Idaho photographer gets farther afield

OUTDOOR IMAGES -- Although her business is called Idaho Scenic Images, Linda Lantzy of Coeur d'Alene isn't tethered to the state.

I pointed out recently that her list of Top 12 Photos of 2010 included a shot of the North Cascades, which are tempting even to an Idaho photographer. I refered to her shots as "the best of 2010," and she takes exception."
 
"I must point out though, that I have never called myself or my work 'the Best of anything,' " she said. "I am concerned how others will view such a statement if they think it came from me, the photographer. 
 
"Idaho Scenic Images is my legal business name here in the state of Idaho. I do, however, travel and photograph throughout the Pacific Northwest, something that unfortunately seems to confuse many."
 
That said, there's no confusion about her photos. They're very nice, regardless of what state they're from.
