SP I was genuinely taken aback by your comments... [i]"Those photos are terrible! Sorry but like, there were better ones than that. I don't mean to insult anyone but portraits are incredibly hard to do well and the wining one was just totally lame! Eyezaer's was at least interesting (if small). [/i] I posted here specifically because of this: 1. Photo needs to go along with the subject in some way. 2. Use thumbnails for photos with any dimension larger than 450 px or over 40 kb. 3. Post as many as you want. 4. [b]At the end of the week the person who chose the topic will pick someone to choose the next topic. This isn't a "winner," just someone who gets to suggest the next topic [/b]. 5. [b]No critiques (unless requested) this is just to share our photos [/b]. If I wanted a critique of my photos I would have asked for it in a different thread. (and I can think of no place better than here at the Asylum where I know the comments would be worthwhile). [quote] "All I wanted was for people to get a bit more passionate about photography". I don't need goading into being more passionate about photography. [b]If anything, your comments have put me off posting anything up here again[/b]! This thread gave me the opportunity to: 1) Try out my new DC 2) Get used to the conventions of posting photos, with size and linking etc. You see this was only the second or third time in my life that I have done this, so I need the practice. 3) See how other people approach the subject. I know I have a great deal to learn to produce quality photographs. As soon as I think I am ready I will submit my work for a constructive critique from people whose judgement I have learned to trust. What started out as an enjoyable exercise for me, you have turned into some quasi intellectual argument about,,,, (" [i] Nothing is certain in photography. Taste is subjective. Credibility is a matter of taste, which itself is a product of critical consistency. I have my opinion and that's just as valid as anyone else's. How can it be that art critics make fair, legitimate careers for themselves without being artists themselves [/i] ") ????????? Well whatever that quote from you means?? Today I have learned not to trust your judgement. [This message has been edited by Taobaybee (edited 06-05-2003).] Loading...
