deathsquad12 Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 i like the photos and all, but are the cans really necessary in BOTH pictures? in one maybe, but in both they kinda take away from the rest....just my opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxcarwilly Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 i think in the first one the cans suck i think the second works well with the cans and the rail road station one is dope as hell... but i wouldnt call them urban scenes either they all look pretty rural to me... everyones a critic.

visualJAZZ Posted August 10, 2001 Author Share Posted August 10, 2001 three of the photos are from a midtown area, and the one of the wall with the tag on it is from downtown around some old warehouses. so they are urban i guess, but we have alot of trees in the city here so it makes it look rural kinda.

ulcer Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 The flicks look pretty nice. The one thing I can't stand about "urban" photography is the number of times I've seen graffiti imagery stolen and then sold in the form of a photograph. Some asshole photographed a production we did a while back and sold it for a few hundred bucks. Where is my royalty check asshole? Make sure you credit the writers, if you don't, it's like a slap in the face. I've even seen graffiti postcards with pieces I recognize on them, again no hint of a credit.

ulcer Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 If somebody takes your work which was intended to be freely exhibited to the public and sells it for money, something is wrong. At least they can take the time to understand and respect the work they are exploiting to pay the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smarco Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 nice flicks, as has already been said, i would lose the cans, it makes the shot look set up. just focus on composition... keep it up though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DankLordz Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 i got a bunch of stuff that i did for an art show last year, maybe ill dig it up... urban photography is king. ------------------ "pound the shit out of all that control the masses of their rightful sanity..designate the powers of intrusion...grade a plot- bury all authority."

visualJAZZ Posted August 10, 2001 Author Share Posted August 10, 2001 its not like i would be marketing photos of the pieces (i'm sure your average joe could give a sh!t for who did the graff) the photos would be marketed for the actual photo. besides prints of this stuff probably wont make it past the walls of my apartment. i'm really doing this for myself. but if someone is interested in purchacing prints, i would jump on the chance to sell.

cinnamon toast crunch Posted August 11, 2001 Share Posted August 11, 2001 nice pictures. the cans look good infront of the graff, but not infront of the traintrax. the pictures have nice contrast and the space if filled nicely. good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulcer Posted August 11, 2001 Share Posted August 11, 2001 what you are doing is different than what I was talking about. Imagine square on colour photographs of a production being offered up for sale, that's what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want credit for your work do some legal painting..if you want to get paid everytime somebody enjoys a piece then you are doing this for the wrong reasons.

Pistol Posted August 12, 2001 Share Posted August 12, 2001 I like that one with the train tracks. The one next to it was cool but the cans kinda distracted me too much from the rest of the picture.

Ski Mask Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 I guess I'm a "pseudo photographer" so I'll post some stuff. I've been unbelievably lazy, and havent shot any B+W since the winter...so heres some of what was on that last roll.... http://www.escape.ca/~cmillar/adwall.jpg'> Anyone know the name of that NYC photographer who was doing a book on old sign painting? I remember seeing somthing on mediaTV along time ago about him....the subject is fascenating and every city has them tucked away somewhere... http://www.escape.ca/~cmillar/bankfront.jpg'> In most major cities in canada you'll see lots of this. dozens of banks, big and small, dating back to the turn of the century, with ornate roman pillars and detailed stone work left to rot. the larger bank building in the back is used by police swat teams for training... http://www.escape.ca/~cmillar/between.jpg'> The garment district here always makes me nostalgic for the neighbourhood in toronto that I grew up in. all the buildings look like smaller versions of the ones on spadina...

Ski Mask Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 http://www.escape.ca/~cmillar/bridge2.jpg'> this is an old railroad drawbridge....this part used to be filled with a poured concrete counter weight. http://www.escape.ca/~cmillar/bwstreet.jpg'> My neighbourhood. it looks beautiful but its hard to appriciate when its -36 http://www.escape.ca/~cmillar/cbcdoor.jpg'> another bank door. thats a devious tag before you ask... http://www.escape.ca/~cmillar/stairwell.jpg'> this is a bland shot, but I included it so I could mention somthing. the top left window is actually a washroom. Its quite a weird fucking thing to sit on the shitter and face a massive picture window that looks out over the whole north end of town....

Guest --zeSto-- Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 very nice ese, I know the area you mean exactly! I spent part of the childhood playing in the Park at Wellington and Spadina, Or at the very foot of Bathurst. I love that whole section, too bad it's got the condo curse now.
