I think that shit can be very interesting!!
Shit may just be the most functional word in the English language.
Consider this:
You can be shit faced,
Shit out of luck,
Or have shit for brains.
With a little effort, you can get your shit together,
Find a place for your shit,
Or decide to shit or get off the pot.
You can smoke shit,
Buy shit,
Sell shit,
Lose shit,
Find shit,
Forget shit,
And tell others to eat shit and die.
Some people know their shit,
While others can't tell the difference between shit and shineola.
There are lucky shits,
Dumb shits,
Crazy shits,
And sweet shits.
There is bull shit,
Horse shit,
And chicken shit.
You can throw shit,
Sling shit,
Catch shit,
Shoot the shit,
Or duck when shit hits the fan.
You can give a shit,
Or serve shit on a shingle.
You can find yourself in deep shit.
Some days are colder than shit,
Some days are hotter than shit,
And some days are just plain shitty.
Some music sounds like shit,
Things can look like shit,
And there are times when you feel like shit.
You can have too much shit,
Not enough shit,
The right shit,
The wrong shit,
Or a lot of weird shit.
You can carry shit,
Have a mountain of shit,
Or find yourself up shit creek without a paddle.
Sometimes everything you touch turns to shit,
And other times you fall in a bucket of shit and come out smelling like a rose.
When you stop to consider all the facts, it's the basic building block of creation and therefore a very photographc subject (Perhaps).
And remember, once you know your shit, you don't need to know anything else! |

| I don't have a problem with turds as a subject matter ( I did it once but the results were not much better) but there isn't any technical or aesthetic merit to the photo. It's just a shot of manure taken from above. The lighting is kind of dull and flat and placing the manure in the top left corner was a weird choice (assuming a conscious decision was made). Getting down to the level of the manure and picking a viewpoint in which the light is coming in from an angle would have added some textural detail as well as made the pile look larger than life which would have helped your statement. |

I wonder if anyone has made a living off of turd photos.
WOW! that was random!

Scatology (the science, not talking dirty) is a respected(?) field within the wildlife biology profession. Much of what we know about animals is derived from collecting and analyzing turds. c.f. Jurassic Park (original) for a classic example. |

There's a ton of mineral and gem sites which sell them too.
This came up about a year ago, when someone was referring to the inability of "rescuing" a truly bad photo using the phrase "you can't polish a turd," at point which I posted a link to a site selling copralite jewelry with the notation "yes, actually you can." I think they said that maybe, their photo might look good in another eighty-three million years but probably not before or somethng like that. |

| I don't like pictures of shit. If that makes me a curmudgeon, so be it. I don't care if they're technically flawless, visually stunning, or follow the rule of thirds or not. I don't like looking at pictures of shit. You can neatimage 'em, unsharp mask 'em, crop 'em, saturate or desaturate 'em, do whatever you want. Won't matter to me; I don't like looking at pictures of shit. I happen to think for a DPC challenge, there are so many other things far more creative and fascinating and interesting to photograph, but that's just me. If you want to photograph shit, by all means, do so. |
