Bottom Liner posted:That's a pretty dickhole assumption, especially since I actually do a lot of fine art and show in galleries and festivals in between paid jobs. Artist statements are usually bullshit and everyone knows it. Get over yourself. I like a lot of those photos and enjoy hearing the story behind the work, but a lot of that is wordy fluff. I really wish you'd stop posting your terrible opinions in a good thread.

Bottom Liner, can I read a statement about your art? I'd like to hear something written by someone free of pretention. Ed Ruscha.

Every Building on the Sunset Strip is awesome. I bet he does a lot of fine art and show in galleries and festivals in between paid jobs.

poopinmymouth posted:It's especially hilarious because one can clearly see that you assume all 50,000 flickr followers these white teens have are ignorant buffoons, but of course your 3 admirers are serious artists who know what good photography is. Garbage opinion from a garbage apologist.

Awkward Davies posted:I think they're well executed, but I don't find them interesting in any way. This is exactly my view. They're well executed and good looking yet I still find them shallow and repetitive and I think it's quite a stretch to call them "awesome."

somnambulist posted:At least someone gets it. I dont want this thread to turn into a back and forth every time someone posts something that appeals to them. Some people dont find editorial photography interesting, why piss in their cheerios when they post that? A lot of people like Brooke Shadens work, and because the photography police on this forum hate it isnt going to change those opinions. The art-is-pretentious police are constantly out in full force. What's the point in having a discussion forum if discussion is discouraged?

Some more cliquish garbage from Robert Adams, who has only been admired because of his fantastic ability to take poo poo photos for idiots:    All from the series A Question of Hope.

Saint Fu posted:I am genuinely interested in hearing why you find these awesome. Could you please explain what these photos mean to you personally? I'm not particularly good at writing analysis so I'll take a quote from an article about the original installation: quote:Half of the exhibition’s pictures depict the tree stumps and carcasses shorn on the hillsides of the Coast Range by the logging industry’s giant mechanical snippers and bulldozers. Rendered in grimly exacting grays, the images quite knowingly recall the human carnage documented by battlefield photographers such as Timothy O’Sullivan (the Civil War) and W. Eugene Smith (World War II). To describe the challenge of photographing a clearcut, in fact, Adams invokes a pledge he once heard from Smith, regarding images of the corpse-strewn beaches of the Pacific theater: “I vowed I would not make patterns.” Adams’s photographs project a similar gravity of despair and purpose. As an exhibit and as a book I quite honestly enjoy being presented with harrowing images of human destruction leading into simple, pure images of the nearby coastlines that pave a hopeful path away from the morbid.

try it with a lime posted:I've admittedly never really read anything about Hopper or his intent, but to me I always felt the normality of his scenes ruminated a crushing sense of dissociation and detachment with the world. I might just be projecting my own emotions onto their work, but I get a lot of that out of Di Corcia (and Crewdson to a lesser extent). To me, Hopper has always felt much more voyeuristic and attached.

rcman50166 posted:I swear I'm not trolling and genuinely want to know, but isn't the only real requirement of art to invoke emotion? I think one of the fundamental problems with this thread is people assuming that a challenge to the quality of a photo is a challenge to the status as 'art'. Something can be garbage and art. They aren't mutually exclusive.
