Photographs never have real fealing. Fact.




:pac:

maybe thats the challenge for good photography - Robert frank could capture fealings - sometimes the Art world here champions people undeserving , but well connected if you get me

Crap, by 'fact' I meant 'I'm being completely, one hundred percent, whole heartedly sarcastic about the about statement'. Sorry 'bout that!

oh ! - i thought you'd had a career transformation (didn't see the icon) :pac:

but seriously it is incredibly hard to capture really moving images , with flickr, cheap digital camera's, colourfull high res media devices , instead of becoming easier it has become more difficult - very very few images have the power to move (well me anyway )

Nah, most new DSLRs have HD Video. That means it's getting EASIER, not harder !

I doubt it's harder to produce a moving image than 30/40/50 years ago. Very very few images had the power to move back then as well, it's just the ones that had are probably better known down the years.

Filtering over time + democratisation of photography. The difficulty is the same.

with digital its easy to become lazy and shoot , shoot , shoot - whereas back then film was expensive so taking an image required more effort & thought I would think - but your right to capture a really moving and emotional image has always been difficult film or digital - the thing about flickr , i meant was there is a lot more bland images to peruse than pre internet

Fionn

it's sort of like music way back then - was way better than today!!!
