I thought, with it being American and all,   
I was using a Slurvian keyboard.
Can't think of any more excuses.

Wait!

I just reread Ken's art thang, and it turns out that furniture is art!

Well, this certainly simplifies my life, doesn't it?

(OTOH, he's never seen my furniture - he might change his mind about
furniture being art were he ever in my apartment)

My problem with art, is that seeing it on a page doesn't tell me if it's art.

If it's in (for instance) an art gallery, I know it's art.  Unless
maybe it's just the furniture.

Okay, I have to admit once I went into a washroom and got confused -
thought it was a Dada gallery or something.  I spent 1/2 an hour
watching the performace artists, until I realized they were just
pissing...

I took Ken's test, guessed that everything was art, and scored 50%.

I know I've resisted being called an artist in the past, and reading
Ken's little thesis only confirms that I'm on the right track...

cheers,
frank

Bob,

> Nikon ever made anything used by serious photographers".

apparently I'm filtering such nonsense stuff automatically at some 
unconscious level. He is often quite right, but I agree, his style is 
not the best possible (yet I haven't found it to be too distracting. 
Which, of course, I can't say about his auto portraits. ;-)).

RE: Facts about the PDML's favorite photographer

2007-03-21 Thread Bob W
Well, nice to hear him say that about Pentax, but what sort of
credibility does someone have if they can write "Neither Canon nor
Nikon ever made anything used by serious photographers".

It's this sort of thing that makes him such a total arse, frankly, in
the way he blithely dismisses almost every photojournalist of the last
60 years as 'newsguys' and not 'serious photographers'. What a wanker.

To say nothing of his assumption that amateurs are not serious
photographers. 

If this wasn't a family list I'd call him a Gareth.

I scored 8/16, e.g. truly random, but I think they are all crap in there 
anyway.

BTW have you noticed:
"Pentax' ads were cute, but very sad. Pentax has been one of the driving 
forces in Japanese photo gear for many decades. Want to know what light 
meter Ansel Adams used? He used the Pentax spotmeters.

It's sad that Pentax has to grovel to Canon and Nikon like this. Neither 
Canon nor Nikon ever made anything used by serious photographers, like 
Ansel's light meters or the extraordinary Pentax 67 medium-format SLR 
system which still creates images far better technically than anything 
from Nikon or Canon. Canon and Nikon have only made piddly 35mm cameras 
or digital SLRs used by amateurs and newsguys, not large format gear for 
serious artists (Nikon does make view camera lenses.)

Pentax shouldn't have to supplicate itself to Canon and Nikon."

Doesn't matter. You made me look at the page and I spotted a link
labelled "What is Art?" which seems to hold the promise of answering a
question which has troubled better brains than mine for centuries. 

Sure enough, Ken tells us. http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/art.htm

There's even a test at the end.

That means I can throw some of my books away and make a bit of space
on my floor. The universities can close their art history departments
and use the money for something useful which advances our culture,
like management studies or social sciences.

The test is great actually, and shows that Ken has a sense of humour.
Skip his pages, and go straight to the test:
http://www.modestypanel.com/artorcrap/#

I got 12/16, which was a bit disappointing, but I didn't understand
that some of it was not art, and the pisspot suckered me.

At first I thought it was a tribute site, but the more I read, the
