tauruslady Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Ok, I'm just in here because well today I was in a gallery(photography) and I started complaining in another thread, but this thread is more appropriate:naughty: anyway...I;m so annoyed because well......ahhh!! I can't even explain why really, just the fact that it had so much bare walls and the walls with pictures on them were so ordinary(like a shed, a car, rubbish on the road) and it made me annoyed that this was even in a gallery. It was obvoius that it wasn't really "art" but it was in a rich area, so I assumed it was really pricey etc...... I felt so annoyed after seeing it, like these people were just making money out of well...no effort. sorry, I just had to get that out.........and I know art can be anything etc...but... anyone ever see the film "Educating Rita"? If so, I felt like thats what it was like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I felt like thats what it was like Oh believe me I feel you. Even though I take hundreds of pictures, and I find some that I like, I always wonder to myself is they're really *that* special, in the way that it's not one of these ordinary things that you mentionned above. Because everytime I go downtown there's an art gallery that changes its exhibitions kinda like every week, and it's a small place (and free haha) so I always take 5 minutes and go inside. And sometimes I just feel like 'wow' and some other times I find myself wondering how that artist even ended up there! So yeah, at times I'm a little scared about my photography I must say, because I'm afraid to fall in the mold of these photographers that are just like 'hey let's snap a photo of a car and then make it to a super pricey gallery!". My photos mean something to me though, I guess that's why I put them up. And some people might not even understand why I think this photo deserves to be shown in my album. Personally, it can be a color that I love, an expression that reminds me of someone I love dearly, a picture that could illustrate a song I love, a photo that makes me burst out laughing, or just something very simple in which I can see an imagery of something I feel, that's what art is to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this one: http://flickr.com/photos/jackiejay/2559330329/ i just think it needs a bit more contrast. and this one is a great portrait: http://flickr.com/photos/jackiejay/2559330329/ hey,thank you! I was just wondering which one you felt needed more contrast, cause you posted it twice, and I wasn't sure if you ment a different one. Thanks for your input/advice, it's much appreciated!

hopelesscandy Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 heres an...interesting one.me and my toddler sized hands *sigh* That is a really good photo. I like it quiet a bit; it has a child-like composition to it! Though, I don't see where you are getting this "toddler sized hand" concept; your hand is pretty. Here are some photos that I've taken in the last week or so that I'm pretty proud of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
