Looks like the creepers are coming out of the closet... i also have been viewing this thread for quite some time but have finally decided to join the "club". In regards to what similarities we all shoot for subject matter, all of us on here have common interests (graffiti, freight culture, nature, night time, etc...) so it's no suprise to me that we all decide to snap our buttons at these subjects. A lot of these subjects are also quite common for image makers to take notice of, such as shadows, textures, compostions, etc.. I think as photographers we look at things slightly differently that the common person, maybe being intrigued/excited about shadows cast by wires. While an average joe only sees boring wires and nothing else to it. blah blah blah..... feel free to comment

more disappearing acts...

Yep yep yep. High class, high society, high art are based around success which usualy means having means to make ends...... just look at basquiat for example. crossed over from low to high with no art training, dude never finished high school. Became mega famous because of his hype and uniqueness, met the right people, became a member of high society basically coming off the streets. If you saw his art (not all of it but a lot of it) and had never heard of him you would think he was handicapped or insane. Suprised nobody gave an example of him earlier, he is actually this conversation in a person.

I think this thread is an amazing read, very interesting things being said/discussed. Low brow is on the rise as becoming a more accepted form of art right now. Public art is on its way to reaching its status as it did in the eighties, there are more and more shows being organized world wide, more companies are giving writers/street artisits contracts to design clothes with "cool" "hip" and "trendy(graffiti is currently heading to a peak)" a few years back only third rail was doing graff shirt prints now stussy, insight and numerous other co.s are following suit. Once something becomes popular and trendy(the two are essentially the same) it hits a peak and then falls. I think that within the end of this decade another form of self expression will take the limelight, graffiti will take a backseat and possibly another lowbrow/outside art form will take hold...Hell maybe everyone will be a expressionist painter! who knows. Whenever i head to art openings in general, high or low, i always hope to have a conversation with some important person who has power and can push me ahead without me having to do anything. Sure i would expect more powerful people to be at high art openings, and most of the time they are there because its high society. The rich and powerful stick to their own, once they reach that level it would be pointless to fall back down. High and Low art could very well be compared to heaven and hell(open to interpratation). Once you are up in the clouds you dont want to fall and end up in a hole of hell. High/heaven is wonderful, your colligues are rich and powerfull so your life is easy because you know money aint a problem. Life is easy, once you are established as being "high-class" everyone will want a piece of you because of the hype. You could be a decent painter but impress that one person who could give you everything in the world, and then you may gain some confidence and become the next monet or rembrandt...life is out of your hands. Low/lucifero is terrible. Its overcrowded with people that could decide they hate art and quit but take up space for those that truely enjoy art. There is no money as a result, the competition is too stiff. Youve got people that decided to pick up a pencil one day and be an artisit; youve also got people who have been creative since the day they were born and strive to head up to the clouds in high heaven. I think high art is just a vip of artisits who have shown and proved they deserve to be in heaven. We all start out in hell.
