first realities

The technical aspect is a mystery to me, a mystery that made these images live in my mind and make their own connections.
The first image puzzles me, I would not make it part of the stunning B&W following photographs.
The three ones, figments of imagination or representation of racing images overlapped on memory engraved stories: processions, cruises and tempests and old sea stories, backyard with a lost hen left out from Noah's Ark (brilliant)…enchanting.

What a lesson in understanding the mechanism of memory and the everlasting power of the soul!
All presented in the form of a newspaper found behind a drawer in a family room. One never remembers the people but the emotions are intact.

Ambiguity

Originally posted by ubique: Originally posted by posthumous: btw, the notes about equipment and gearheads brings up a point I've been thinking about. Why doesn't this apply to music? I saw a youtube video of someone playing clarinet, and barely able to hit the notes, certainly not to the right rhythm. It didn't strike me as "ambiguous" or "interesting," only painful to listen to. for some people on DPC, looking at a photograph must be equivalent to me listening to music... Interesting point Don. I suppose it's not quite the same thing though. The comparison is probably more like indie music versus mainstream popular music. Maybe you can take bad photographs (interesting, ambiguous, confounding) only if you're first good enough? Or at least a plausible faker, like me.

An excellent topic here. All started by Paul's "ambiguity". People get shy when confronted with a piece of music. They can almost never answer even to the simple question: "did you like it". They hide behind: I don't play an instrument, I am not a music connoisseur...
It has to do probably with the way music is made and played. While in front of any piece of pictorial art the responses are shameless. As if these instruments on which a visual art piece is made are perfectly known or mastered. The eye is easy on the brain. This applies to any visual things not only painting and photography (the two dimensional forms) but to sculpture, interior decoration, fashion, ceramics…
Yes Paul, one can take "interesting, ambiguous, confounding photographs only if one is first good enough".

hmm, knowing the building well I am not thrilled by how you presented it here - a billowing thing, of well, it's supposed to be a ship - but…

wasn't this great title of a gangster movie? I did not see it but was stopped by the title when read it somewhere.
Was stopped by your image also
