posthumousComment by mariuca: I made comments on every essay because these exercises are the most interesting thing here so far.
Left yours the last because it involves more talk, and we don't.
It never crossed my mind to ask myself what is photography (or what art is). Oh boy, I am not that smart. I just do what I do, I cannot use both words and images. Either / or.
I could never say that "
the art comes from the person looking at it" - no, no - the thing is there and people take something from it should they choose to look at it.
I could never formulate that"
Photography reminds me that it̢۪s a game, a joke, a lucky strike. Photography is full of joy."
Not because I disagree with what you wrote but I never asked myself these question. What if I find the answer? I don't want to break the spell!
I do what I do because I have this necessity and life allowed me to do it and even make a living by holding the pencil, a brush, a camera, a piece of paper, glue, charcoal, a ruler and mostly an eraser.
I save and print your essay and show it proudly to people who have interest in this thing that we do. I liked everything you wrote and all the accompanying images. And of course your initiatives. Chapeau!
