I've liked her photography for years and years. Saying that, generally speaking my aims are quite different from hers. But I like her style. Dave |

I completely understand your point of view, and even though I disagree, I am not denigrating it. John - I Like the blur... ![]() I just have to learn how to use it better. I'm learning how to pan for some shots, allow things to be blured for others. It's what I see at night. Daylight shooting is a completely different matter. Dave |

![]() Those twins spooked ME. They acted in a very odd manner. Walking up to me, going into "pose mode," with those very serious expressions. And thier customes weren't exactly wild, and yet they reminded me of some horror flick, in which I was about to meet some supernatural beings.. ![]() Dave |

Chato, I do agree with one statement you made being "Nan Goldin is one hell of an overhyped photographer". Looked at her work and didn't care for what she prints. Then not everybody likes everything done by every professional photographers. Which is why there are so many photographers in the world of art.
Do have one question; what type of camera does Nan Goldin use when shooting street photography? |

Chato, sorry for the miss quote. Still to me a poorly done picture, one done without regard to lighting is just a bad picture. To each their own, in ones taste in art.

They attempt to capture a mood; to draw the audience in, and let them fill in the blanks, so to speak. They seek to capture the essence of the scene. They want you, the viewer to see more than a painting, or in this case a photography can directly capture. Now, when I have good light, I use good light. There are plenty of pictures I've posted on this board which proves my skill. But for all practical purposes, night scenes, viewed by the human eye are not very different from what I'm trying to do. I seek to capture the essence of a scene, the mood, the feeling. I asked John, and I'll ask you, to go out on a dark night, and actually analyse what you are seeing. The eye/brain combination fills in the blanks to scenes which in fact look much like my photographs. I am trying, and slooooooowly making progress in capturing what the eye actually see's. These Halloween shots are closer to what I wish to do, than my previous efforts. They are in fact, what I want to do, although I haven't quite got there yet. Those who dislike this form of photography have perfectly legitimate opinions, just as those who dislike a particular style of painting have perfectly legitimate opinions. But this is a genre. It's a very difficult genre to do correctly, and even when done correctly, many wont like it. But a critique which consists of telling me what an f stop is, doesn't ring a bell... ![]() I may not be a great photographer, but I have mastered the technical aspects of photography, and am now breaking arbitrary rules. I shoot in good light and bad light, and make the most of both. Don't like it? Fine. Explaining to me that the picture is blurred is not a revelation. ![]() Dave |

ive never heard of Nan Goldin, so i did a google image search and after 10 pages i found nothing remotely like the ones youve taken.
at the end of the day though, it doesnt matter to me what people think, (unless your trying to sell) if you like what your doing then carry on |

I sure stand by what I said. When someone produces crap and calls it art and most people see it as crap, those few who rave and call it art I believe are just saying it to be different. If those people happen to be in key places in the art world the 'artist' gets noticed. I have a box full of art pictures if crap is what sells.
