Wow! There are so many inspiring images/artists here! I have sometimes thought my work was a bit "out of the box", but I can see I have miles to go before I put down my camera... I hope to one day inspire as I've been inspired today. Thank you once again K! Rich Mar 11 07 02:44 pm Link Rich Mohr wrote: You're welcome. I'm thankful I did, too...now I have this cool place to go when in need of instant inspiration. The discovery process is addictively engaging. Mar 11 07 03:18 pm Link Mar 11 07 03:26 pm Link Lately, I've been interested in photographs that put the focus smack-dab in the middle of the frame. Mar 11 07 03:27 pm Link K.

Mar 11 07 09:59 pm Link I already edited my post. I've got numerous formats. And don't forget, you were gonna get to mine  Mar 11 07 10:02 pm Link Aaron S  These are too large to include here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/Syphus/View.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/ … Bleach.jpg  On Aaron A signature, handwriting, is both ordinary and difficult. I find photographers who have antequarian camera fetishes, understand the medium as an order of reality itself, and not merely for meditation. It is handwriting imbued with process (the idea of the ritual Benjamin references in the essay posted earlier). These photographs, though here reproduced digitally for our view, leave a residue. I don't know if I can comment on their would-be aura, as I haven't seen the prints, they are not yet tangible. But it's clear that to the artist, the method and the sacrifice of print from camera (light), are roped together in phenomena. This series is nothing less than masculine (while endless interiors and landscape photographs are endlessly compared to the female body, you know, rooms and vaginas, hills and such), a feat not only difficult, but emotional. What the images are not are relief maps, the texture is forgone and replacing it a notion of what it means to respond to the ordinary with awe. A, if pastoral, distinctly human communication attempt to piece together the chthonic with the ethereal. The images are both the scaffolding and the architecture. Mar 12 07 12:06 am Link |
