It's just goddamn boring. For those of you who think that photo is 'goddamn boring' I'm curious what your opinions are of work like this: .jpg){kind=spacer} Not trying to jump into this argument in any way, I'm genuinely curious what your reactions are.

I haven't seen the actual name of the photographers anywhere yet but the Bronze winner of the portrait category is bad rear end. http://www.cpoy.org/index.php?s=WinningImages&c=216#3.0 I love the way the photographer chose to show the guy as a portrait. All the little details make it, like his sweet wallpaper, and his suspenders. The Gold portrait winner made me all  These are fantastic

Creepy Goat posted:I almost think of it as the amount of effort that has gone into the shot; so the quick 'snap' didn't take much effort but could still capture something much more amazing than the guy who stopped, set up and adjusted before taking a shot. If the subject was exactly the same then clearly the prior-preparation of the second shooter would net them a better picture. I would have to argue this. The two photos would certainly be different, but to say that one would be inherently 'better' is debatable.

Something else you have to remember is that there is something going on *behind* the camera as well as in front. The hypothetical well-trained photographer is going to communicate the urgency and immediacy of that quick and dirty snapshot, and make it part of the image. Part of the message. *That* quick decision-making, instinct-based process is going to affect the work in some ways that are unrepeatable by other methods or under different conditions.

dukeku posted:Some sweet stuff on American Elegy from Charles Henry: This is really cool. Doubly interesting to me because I lived in Amarillo until 2007. These pictures are essentially my earliest memories growing up. I got out as soon as I could. The place is an economic and creative sinkhole in my mind. It's amazing to me to see anyone flourish there.
