RE: Tree Tuesday
Thank you! I have been doing it a lot as part of the composition. I really like doing it. I'm pretty sure most think it's something to be avoided. Lol.
I've really been pushing it to extremes with sailboats and rigging, buildings, poles - pretty much anything with a lot of verticals . It's really fun. Some of the painters also inspired me. Like Mondrian, Braque, Picasso, Kline and more. here's a few examples.
Thank you for commenting!
Both above photos are excellent examples of this concept. I like it.
It's a bit like life. Messy in parts but it works :-)
The sail boat rigging would have been a common sight on the River Thames not so long ago.
I took a similar shot a few weeks ago when I was in London. I'll dig it out and post it sometime soon.
Thank you! I'm not very good at describing what i'm doing. Something different than a just single subject like a boat, tree, mountain, person. Warhol already did it a long time ago with his prints where there is a lot of the same thing in one work
I would like to see the Thames!
Like the Campbells soup cans. I see what you mean. Interesting ideas.
It's kind of a stretch applying it to my photos... Talking - i should say writing - about art/photography has always been tough one for me. This place being a blog makes it weirder. I actually do have things to say but where do you go with it? Things i could say in a conversation don't always work out in a short blog.
I think for a lot of us everything we have ever seen and looked at and studied comes together in the work... but changed. Not a copy but informed by it. Lol, now im really going on tangent.
I think you summed up the life of an artist pretty well here.
You have to do what you feel. Keep doing what makes sense to you.
