I read what you have written about abstract photography and I think it's a really good work which gave me some really great inspiration for my work. Thank you!! ^^Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480506860558531576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124922974967100938.post-73541660091302774332007-03-15T13:09:00.000-07:002007-03-15T13:09:00.000-07:00No I don't expect any allowances;I didn't think yo...<I>No I don't expect any allowances;</I><BR/><BR/>I didn't think you would, and I was trying to say I don't think you need them either :)Chris Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477371787636884460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124922974967100938.post-19838360127639502532007-03-15T12:49:00.000-07:002007-03-15T12:49:00.000-07:00No I don't expect any allowances; I was just purel...No I don't expect any allowances; I was just purely talking about the processes I use. Ok yeah paragraph breaks would help, thanks for pointing it out. Ok post titles would also help. Interesting point about the photo/image debate. Expectation of truth, hmmm yes truth can merely be any illusion. Timothy o'sullivan capturing the aftermath of American civil war. Apparently there were rumours of him moving the bodies for the photos.Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565131015593895106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124922974967100938.post-81901348901487760692007-03-15T12:25:00.000-07:002007-03-15T12:25:00.000-07:00Hi Lewis,Thanks for the link to my ramblings - I'l...Hi Lewis,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link to my ramblings - I'll carry on our discussion when I get a moment, I'm rather enjoying them.<BR/><BR/>When you talk about exact representation I was reminded of David Baileys comment that it is easier for painters than photographers because a photographer is limited to what is actually there where a painter can imagine things.<BR/><BR/>Now photoshop allows us to go beyond the captured image, quite easily. At what point we move from a "photograph" to an "image" is often the subject of great debate. <BR/><BR/>Viewers seem to have an expectation of "truth" from a photograph which they don't from a painting..but truth, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder!<BR/><BR/>I hadn't realised about your MD before now...but from an imaging point what your work does not seem to be held back by it (I can only see the final images not how difficult or easy they are to produce). So I won't be making "allowances" for your disability when I comment ...because I don't think I need to for someone who is already producing work of a high quality.<BR/><BR/>A couple of small points:<BR/>Could we have some paragraph breaks as a big block of text is difficult to read on screen.<BR/><BR/>I am subscribed to your blog and its difficult to spot the new posts if they all have the same title "...".<BR/><BR/>An interesting article, that I may come back to.<BR/><BR/>ChrisChris Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477371787636884460noreply@blogger.com
