All I said was that I thought your original photo was more, well, photogenic, than your Photoshopped versions. You seem to be taking that as an insult, but it isn't. Think about it. Did you bother to look at the photos of the Mies Farnsworth House? If you did, you would have seen plain, simple, elegant design, unadorned, and virtually impossible to improve upon. "Less is more." Do you think that house needs to be Rococo-ized? Do you think Leonardo could have improved on Mona Lisa by Photoshopping a different background? I guess we have a totally different visual philosophy. I don't believe nature needs a lot of improvement to be attractive. You do. |

Do you think that house needs to be Rococo-ized? Do you think Leonardo could have improved on Mona Lisa by Photoshopping a different background? It's not the point - contempory modernism is a Scandinavian artistic construct which came about as a sort of '40s era industrial simplicity where form didn't always meet function from an esthetic sense. It was totally sterile and uninteresting which is why it died a quick death in the early '50s which ushered in the era of post-modern art and architecture - form met function while being esthetically pleasing. However, photography is an art form and as such, modernism produced Pablo Picasso who over his career veered from Symbolist imagery to Surrealism - all and any of which were never boring, sterile or monotone in concept or execution and still called "modernist". I guess we have a totally different visual philosophy. I don't believe nature needs a lot of improvement to be attractive. You do. I'm dead serious about this Harry. I really want to see your creative side - see how you interpret your world visually. Let's see your stuff - put it out there. |

His first post of the day...a slam at aimed at me. |

When I opened it up in my browser, it looked waaay over sharpened. But once I downloaded the file and opened it full-screen in Irfanview, that issue completely went away. It has a nice tone to it. Almost a sepia-like quality to it. Its actually several layers of some very slight halftone changes to various areas of the image. I wanted to give it an antique look while keeping the overall sharp nature of the image. I think it came out really nice. I like it. Who's the chick? --Vic |
