Re: One Sentence - Yeah but is it art?
I'm with Annsan. I thought it was a bit sad too, that he (I forget who) has to improve the view of the world through his photos. There is so much beauty in the world anyway, and the thought that maybe he hasn't seen as much of it as other people is a bit sad. Although it sounds a nice idea. I just wish I could create a more perfect life through photography. Finally, of course people should be able to critique another's sentence. It doesn't necessarily mean we disagree. I don't think Annsan did disagree, just that she has probably seen less hardship than him. And I know if it was something that other people did agree with, it would be considered perfectly acceptable for them to say so. Jody. Get email alerts NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!

Re: One Sentence - Yeah but is it art?
Sorry to be a touch holier than thou, but actually that is sashimi they have been enjoying for thousands of years. Sushi is the stuff rolled in rice and seaweed. Sashimi is the raw fish. It is a very common mistake. But I think we should stop now, I am getting major sushi (and sashimi) cravings and you can't buy it easily here in little old Gisborne. I can make it (sort of) but can't really be bothered just now. Jody. --- PAUL STENQUIST [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Bears and certain waterfowl have been eating sushi for thousands of years.

At this point i imagine only you and I and Jody are reading this :) I'm happy indeed Paul -- just need a few more places to roll out my bedding on my way to and from the Grand Canyon, and get the house all spiffed up for my friends who will be here while I'm gone. annsan PAUL STENQUIST wrote: You forgot who? Jody, I'm crushed. But my point was that I believe a photograph should make something more moving than it really looks. Sometimes that means more beautiful, sometimes more dark and depressing. The photograph shouldn't just be a xerox copy of the original; it should provide some kind of visual enhancement, achieved through photographic techniques. But that's just the way I see photography. It's not sad. (I'm quite happy, really I am.) In any case, I don't want to revisit this in detail, but I agree that comments in regard to another photographer's sentence should be welcome. I enjoyed the discussion, but it has run its course. And I'm not sure that Ann has seen less hardship than have I. My life is pretty darn good at the moment.

Re: One Sentence - Yeah but is it art?
PAUL STENQUIST wrote: Ann Sanfedele wrote: The photograph is never going to replace the reality - is never going to surpass it in beauty or in ugliness or pain. My point is that a photograph can surpass reality in beauty or ugliness or pain. So too, fine art. Do you believe that the historic David was more beautiful than Michaelangelo's rendering of him? A photograph of a simple flower can be prettier than the flower might actually be. The colors can be more vibrant, the lighting more refined, the background thrown out of focus in a way that the human eye can't achieve on its own. Of course artful photography (which I certainly have not mastered) is not the only appropriate use of a camera. Recording things exactly as one sees them is a noble pursuit as well. But neither is necessarily better than the other. Nor are those of us who attempt to alter reality unfortunate or sad in any way. What is truly unfortunate is that so many people have become so dogmatic about what they believe that they fail to understand or accept the beliefs of others. - Ouch! Paul, you don't know me personally at all. This is an intellectual debate - it is the old what is art thing... I'd be a poor artist if I didn't think that my view was correct. You certainly should believe yours is correct. You are entitled to yours. (um, am I overreating to your last paragraph? A little defensive maybe? Maybe g) The line of mine,above, whre you quoted me is out of context, of course, Hope if some respond to it it is not with a knee jerk reaction. I was really dealing with some very specific things and , I thought, carrying Shel's initial point further. Where a photograph may go beyond what was in front of the photographer when the shutter was released may, indeed, turn something mundane into something that approaches or is art because of the combination of selection, light and tone and because there is a moment in time that is frozen and can be looked at over and over. But the rabbit was in the hat. The art (or craft) of the photographer is to pull the rabbit out of that to show to people that didn't see it to begin with on their own. I wish you didn't sound so angry about all of this - it is hard to communicate here sometimes with only type and not expression and tone. I feel I use rather colorful language to get my point across but I think I'm being dispassionate and thoughtful in relaying it. And now, alas, I have to go to the dentist and lose a tooth.

Honest, Paul, I meant it was unfortunate or sad because you felt what was around you in the world needed improvement, rather than celebration. Ive looked at all your pix in the Pug gallery and the one you took looking at the dawn breaking over the mountains is a nice shot, but do _you_ feel that it is an improvement over what you enjoyed when you are actually there? It is evocative to be because I have been there and seen that and that kind of thing - but I'd rather be there myself than look at a photo of it. Thats really all I meant when we started. sure sorry I said sad though. I'm much better at comedy. The b/w shot with the inside/outside theme makes a strong case for your improvement but also my rabbit. You saw the potential for a statement in what existed. You brought it to our attention and showed craft in the realization of it. But I am not angry.

Paul sez I do think the dawn photo is slightly enhanced from what I actually saw. The color is more saturated due to a slight underexposure and the use of a polarizer. And the perspective is altered by the use of a lens that is slightly wider than normal vision. So from a purely visual point of view, the photograph surpasses the reality. If one considers all the variety of things that might affect one in a given place, it is of course more stimulating to witness something in person. And I recall how invigorating it was to be on that mountain at dawn. It was certainly a much more moving experience than one can ever achieve by merely viewing a photograph. ann sez Yup - that was the main message I was clumsily trying to make, Paul.

Re: One Sentence
PAUL STENQUIST wrote: I enjoy using technical tools to make a more perfect version of those things I see. and Shel objected to the premise of the sentence. Unfortunately, I was unable to reply when I had Shel's message in hand, but his main contention seemed to be that a photograph cannot possibly improve upon reality, it can only hope to capture it. First, let me say that I expressed my thought poorly. More perfect is itself irrational. Perfect is an absolute, therefore nothing is more perfect. I should have said an enhanced version or even an interpretive version, because I do not always attempt to improve upon reality. Sometimes I want to degrade it. It all depends on what I hope to communicate. But I must disagree with Shel's observation that nothing two-dimensional, on paper, can improve upon the real thing. When I photograph a woman who is not beautiful to the naked eye, I attempt to make her appear beautiful in the picture. If I photograph a landscape at sunset, I might attempt to use the color of the late day light and perhaps a bit of lens flare to make the picture more dramatic than the scene appeared to the naked eye. I don't know if that means that the photograph is an improvement over reality. But it can certainly be a more attractive depiction of reality. Technique used with enhancement in mind is even applicable in the most mundane photographic assignments. I remember when I was working at Hearst, and I was told to photograph some awards that Motor Magazine was presenting to service mechanics. Well, the trophies were quite a boring lot of metal and plastic, so I created some pinpoints of light in the metal, then used a cross hair filter to achieve some starbursts. Yes, it was a cheap photographic trick, but the trophies in the photograph were more attractive than the actual hardware. And that is a joy to me.

Re: One Sentence
Aside from my sloppy comparative use of the absolute perfect. (it _was_early in the morning :-), I meant exactly what I said. And it is certainly not sad, at least not to me. If your reality is always beautiful, always worth preserving exactly as it is, then you are a very fortunate woman. My reality has not always been so nice. I've experienced a lot of ugly things and have had to dig my way out of some pretty deep holes. Along the way I've found that imagination can save the soul. Painting a new and prettier world can heal a lot of wounds. But we all do that to some extent. Even Shel's pictures of street people don't fully capture the stench of reality (although that may be his objective). The running sores are hidden beneath the soiled clothing. The poverty is depicted only in terms of circumstantial evidence. There is no burning, empty pit at the bottom of a stomach. A picture of a neon sign on a New York street corner can be warm and appealing. Yet the reality of that street corner might harbor untold misery and danger, incalculable cold and deprivation. Photography can and does present an improved version of reality. And that's a good thing.

Re: One Sentence
PAUL STENQUIST wrote: (mainly in response to annsan) Aside from my sloppy comparative use of the absolute perfect. (it _was_early in the morning :-), I meant exactly what I said. And it is certainly not sad, at least not to me. Will you substitute, perhaps, unfortunate for sad? We are going to get into a whole art imitating life or life imitating art thing here, I can see. quoting Paul's original statement: I enjoy using technical tools to make a more perfect version of those things I see. Initially this struck me as rather arrogant and therefore, to me, sad. Taking it purely as an intellectual statement, not knowing anything about you, Paul, it pissed me off enough to dash off that line. But my reaction was to that simple line in a vacuum - between technical tools and more perfect vision sounded a bit Brave New World to me. Paul wrote to me: If your reality is always beautiful, always worth preserving exactly as it is, then you are a very fortunate woman. My reality has not always been so nice. I've experienced a lot of ugly things and have had to dig my way out of some pretty deep holes. and I reply: OF course my reality is far from that. Though I'll confess to more often than not looking at half full glasses, I assure you I've had many half empty or totally empty ones. I think this is pretty much beside the point. But I'm not doing photography to preserve anything exactly as it is, good or bad. What I'm saying is that it ain't possible. Paul : Along the way I've found that imagination can save the soul. Ann: No argument there - Paul: Painting a new and prettier world can heal a lot of wounds... Ann: My phrase would be finding the beauty in the world. A friend of mine once wrote a poem called Beauty Lurks - and then there is the line from THE RED SHOES (a film I have only seen about 30 times) The Diagahlevian impresario of the company points out that even the best magician in the world cannot pull a rabbit out of a hat unless there is already a rabbit IN the hat. Paul ... But we all do that to some extent. Even Shel's pictures of street people don't fully capture the stench of reality (although that may be his objective). Right - that is exactly _my_ point. The photograph is never going to replace the reality - is never going to surpass it in beauty or in ugliness or pain. In terms of wonderful photos of beautiful things, the photo has done its job for me if it has made me feel as if I were in the place in the photo, in an elemental travel- log kind of way. But no painting or photograph or essay can even come close to reproducing the magnificence of Denali at midnight in June or the feeling I get standing at the base of Delicate Arch. Nor can the FSA photos adequately express the poverty and suffering of the Dust Bowl, for just one example. snip a bit Paul continues: Photography can and does present an improved version of reality. And that's a good thing. Paul Stenquist ann says: I wish I agreed with that - you put it very eloquently. I guess I'll have to work on my one sentence. I'm usually much more prone to comedy than something this intense.
