I'm glad you were feature on some blog, thats cool, but I agree with them that the copy on that page is laughable and detracts from the work.

I could never make it as an artist, because my blurbs would be all "uh, I was walking around and I had a camera with me. I saw this cool thing so I took a picture of it. Then I pushed some sliders around in lightroom until it looked awesome and finally I uploaded it." Only the biggest badasses wear sunglasses in space. Someone needs to donate a portfolio website to NASA, navigating those pictures is excruciating.

Write a few sentences about the thought process that led you to make a particular photo. Spending some time thinking about your work can only improve it.

wikipedia posted:In a letter to Huygens, Rembrandt offered the only surviving explanation of what he sought to achieve through his art: the greatest and most natural movement, translated from de meeste en de natuurlijkste beweegelijkheid. The word "beweechgelickhijt" is also argued to mean "emotion" or "motive." Whether this refers to objectives, material or otherwise is open to interpretation; either way, critics have drawn particular attention to the way Rembrandt seamlessly melded the earthly and spiritual.

casa de mi padre posted:I wonder what Rembrandt's artist statement was. "Because of the great zeal and devotion which I experienced in executing well the two pictures which His Highness commissioned me to make — the one being Christ's dead body being laid in the tomb, and the other Christ arising from the dead to the consternation of the guards — these same two pictures are now finished through studious application, so that I am now disposed to deliver the same and so to afford to His Highness. For in these two paintings the greatest and most natural movement has been expressed, which is also the main reason why they have taken so long to execute." Or: "Try to put well in practice what you already know; and in so doing, you will in good time, discover the hidden things which you now inquire about. Practice what you know, and it will help to make clear what now you do not know." It could have been this too: "A painting is finished when the artist says it is finished." Pick one

East Lake posted:Is that a requirement now? Before criticism, submit own work to be vetted by the esteemed scholars of dorkroom. Hey I know it's cool to get mad about art and stuff but could this thread in general just not do that so I don't have to go edit the rules thread to add a 9(b) about getting angry about the concept of art? All art is poo poo, burn your cameras, hail satan, etc, but seriously calm down.

If you're in or around NYC get over to the Met and check out the Eggleston exhibit they've got showing. It's mainly from the Guide book, with dye-transfer prints of all the well known shots.

Awesome words:quote:The best documentary work is as complex as its subject matter, does not attempt to fully resolve itself, and forces the viewer to interpret the work and engage with the subject matter independently. Filmmakers Dziga Vertov and Werner Herzog come to mind. Why no still photographers? Because the best still photographers have fled from any association with “documentary” as the field has become increasingly parochial, stiff and old-fashioned. Still photographers are the most conservative and least ambitious of visual artists because they are tethered to the photojournalistic tradition and to the general public’s misunderstanding of the medium as a tool of faithful communication. For documentary to be born again, those practicing it and those looking at it must accept that truth cannot be found or created within its bounds, only art.

Reichstag posted:Awesome words: That whole interview is great, thanks for linking it. The segment on war reporting actually made me think about a report I'd read in VICE the other day - it was the story of the people on the ground, from both perspectives, and an overall diatribe of how badly Afghanistan has failed. Everything from troops surviving on the very opiates people initially sought to destroy, the Taliban moving in directly after troops leave, and swelling disharmony between (the seen as) imperialist coalition forces and the natives, who feel they are losing culture, religion, property and in a nutshell everything, in their "liberation". After watching and reading it all, the one prevailing question I had was - "what the hell is VICE doing covering this?"; and almost immediately realised that actually, war journalism and photojournalism has now become pretty much a cultural commentary, placating us with snapshots that neither outright tell or even slightly hint at the story behind the people.

Do you mean the VICE doc was sort of a narrow window into afghanistan or did you like the doc and thought other journalism/photography wasn't giving the subject its due?
