Photography as Art Work the photographer believes might command artistic value beyond their own circle. As usual in OPF, these submissions merit critique based on intent, context and purpose. This might cover technique, composition and the like. To go out in the world, however, far more might be expected, even for things of beauty or great craft. Art criticism is harder. It requires knowledge of the arts, literature, history and esthetics. Criticism comes from study of the photograph and related works. It's an assessment of how this work might stand our culture. As Dante warned: "Abandon hope all ye who enter here!

Now I have another headache from that song. There are small pleasures from not being young. That's one of them.
As for the whiskey, I've had more than my share of headaches from that stuff. Once again, I leave those pleasures to the young.
Your metaphor mix reminds me of a great recipe for chocolate mud cake. As they say, he who hesitates gathers no moss.
Another sleep, another dream.

Now this is worth filling a glass with Bordeaux! It's metaphorical and clever. The jaggies on the wall complement the spikes in the lad's hair. Mark, who is Alexander? Tell us more about the exhibit and that cute chap.

Asher,

went to Scott Miles exhibition with my son this afternoon -

here is a link to the venue / show /artist

it's a snap that illustrates some of the ideas in wave. I am glad it makes you want to drink wine !

turns Asher to wine and gives Tom head aches. I like this thread :)

Tom what type of building did you make those images of?

the next in the wave work series. working with the same ideas - different place and time.








Wave.4.800 - Deka


16 works - 8 data samples of waves @ 1/8,000s - each image contains the data from 4 exposures.

this data is then manipulated to make an image that is as close to remembering a dream as I can.
the tantalising nature of trying to remember a dream whilst awake seems to me to be a physical sensation - wave-like eletric



and a couple closer in.


















thanks for looking in.

Is this "eletric" a word you have coined like deka? Is it from eclectic or electric, both or just a typo you seem to do by habit?

..... but you also invent stuff, so I thought a derivation of eclectic might work too!
