Personal satisfaction / Commercial value / Etc Etc. <br /><br />I guess it comes down to am I making it for me or for some other reason. I need to get my brain around all of that.<br /><br />CarlCarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09751363280115223716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344578923781235153.post-20480864333321809172013-05-03T18:09:56.496-04:002013-05-03T18:09:56.496-04:00Does art always have to "communicate" so...Does art always have to "communicate" something in particular? I guess we can use that word broadly. To me you don't simply capture a moment. From your eye, through the piece of equipment through which you look, to the paper or the screen something else happens, Carl. The particular moment/time of day, the object or part of a place/event/bit of nature you choose to frame, and whatever you then do on the computer or, with traditional photography, in the dark room--these things transform the object in time or nature. We see what YOU wanted to show.<br /><br />Or paint.<br /><br />or write.<br /><br />or sing.<br /><br />They are all art, aren't they? What did Picasso SAY, really? He took a picture as his mind saw it, only in oils.<br /><br />It's all art to me. And your work is art to me. You communicate. You show Carl.JeannetteLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528285846408727632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344578923781235153.post-20621604250943126912013-04-25T08:02:58.416-04:002013-04-25T08:02:58.416-04:00Thanks Dave.

Maybe people t work or something. Then am I doing art for art sake or am I trying to make this some ort of viable business...Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09751363280115223716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344578923781235153.post-53566228437459969132013-04-25T07:01:46.028-04:002013-04-25T07:01:46.028-04:00Hi!

I've always gone along with Tolstoy's definition:-<br /><br />He maintained that <i>art must create a specific emotional link between the piece and it's audience, one that "affects" the viewer.</i><br /><br />so communication is a vital ingredient -- the communication of an experienced feeling.<br /><br />Against all these criteria, your photographs are most definitely art.<br /><br />Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.com
