I got a fav as well. This is so much better than a good score to me. I actually must have touched someone. |

I am so pleased about your favorite and score in this very difficult challenge. You may even be on the front page with that score.

A nice sentiment, but I don't think anyone really thinks a 5.5 is going to make top 3. ;) |

Still haven't made the 100 votes but the score is creeping up. And I received a couple more comments that made my day. They so got it and gave me the sore to prove it. Thank you soooooo much.

I agree. I have 2 comments telling me that it is not an abstract and 2 telling me it is. I'm not even sure what an abstract is, but I think it qualifies. :)

Personally I think I should be scoring much higher. ;) Oh well. You can never guess the taste in abstract. |

I can't seem to get to 100 votes. I have been sitting at 99 for most of the day.

Originally posted by Citadel: Just to throw something out there:
I just got my newest copy of Photo Life magazine last night and interestingly enough there was an article called "Abstracting and abstracts" by Freeman Patterson.
His opinion is that all good photography uses abstraction. Abstraction uses the basic building blocks of visual design (e.g. Line and shape). He indicates that most shots contain 2-4 basic shapes (at most 6). I wish I had pictures to demo this. He shows a field of flowers and indicates that there are two basic shapes (rectangles) in the shot.
He also indicates that we tend to think of certain photos, painting or drawings as "abstract" because they have no definable labels and they don't represent anything in any obvious way. In his opinion, a more accurate term would be "non-representational".
Now that aside I think our challenge is looking "non-representational" images. Of course that's a separate debate...
//bermangraphics.com/press/patterson.htm has a interview with Freeman Patterson where he discusses this. (if you want to "cut to the chase" do a find on the page for non-representational) |
In light of reading this article, I wanted to learn more about some of Freeman Patterson's philosophies on the subject of abstraction. As such I picked up the book "Photography and the Art of Seeing" yesterday. There is a lot of material to go through in but so far? I'd recommend giving it a read. Not only is it a good book on "non-representational" photography but the principles can be applied to any photograph you shoot.
Incidentally, //photolife.com/ has a blurb on their website now from the article. |
