That hand-ashtray I did in preschool, oh yeah baby, that's art. Now, whether or not something is good art is a question to be left to the ages. There is no "good art checklist" anywhere in existence; it's all in the interpretation. I dare you to show me one work of art that has appealed to every single person that viewed it. I dare you to show me one that was never criticized in a negative way by someone. Just because you don't think something is art, doesn't mean it isn't. Just because you don't think something is creative, doesn't mean it isn't. As for the "see what my camera can do" argument, well, I think that's just silly. Even the most basic cameras need some tweaking with the aperture and shutter to acheive certain effects. I don't think any of the pictures shared in these POW challenges have been examples of that. Even with the best professional equipment you still have to frame the photo, consider the light source, and come up with the best settings to acheive the photo you're picturing in your head. Even a photo shot on complete auto-focus can turn out to be amazing if it is framed right and thought out. Hell, even a quick snapshot that was completely unplanned can turn out to be beautiful. I think someone has to be pretty damned pretentious to assume that they know exactly what is, and isn't, art. :::[url=http://www.krets.net]krets.net[/url]::: Loading...
