krackmonkey posted:Looking through the "Fragmente" thread and remembering some of the previous projects people have posted here made me think maybe a "Link & Discuss Your Projects" thread would be kinda cool. I didn't even know how much I wanted this until I just read it. I tend to be project oriented and they often fall way outside the purview of SAD but I want to share anyways but don't want to push threads off the first page.

I have absolutely nothing against PAD in either implementation or the idea behind it, it just doesn't interest me in the slightest. It's not about the effort, it's about taking something I approach in a loose fashion and breaking it down systemically. This is something I do for fun and myself since I already give and receive critique during my day job while making other people's ideas and art. That's not supposed to be flippant or whiny, I have different motivations and get different things out of the Dorkroom. Ultimately, the Dorkroom is a subforum of a subforum. The participants here are pulled from a larger base of people who paid their $10 for their own various reasons to be here. I think the question of what the role of the Dorkroom is and who is it for is what PAD calls into question. I never viewed SAD as a photo dumping ground, I liked SAD for the glimpse into what people in the Dorkroom were doing, where they were going and what they chose to put their eyeballs on. I've learned far more from what different people decided had value enough to share than how any particular image was executed. I'm not a photographer, I'm a guy with some cameras-photography is just a technical means to an end to me. Even though I may not be enthused about a particular image, I can sit here and say that I've been moved and influenced by many people in the Dorkroom and that approaching the Dorkroom as way to connect with people has brought me dukeku's medium format photos of lonely buildings, aliencowboy and Mr. Despair's landscapes, krackmonkey and Augmented Dickey's urban wanderings, QPZIL's experiments with his billion cameras, Tom Rinthema's family, etc and ad infinitum. These are just some of the Dorkroomers and their work that I can name off the top of my head. Sorry for being a wordy bitch, I just wanted to put to print what it is I get out of the Dorkroom.
