i read an article from cartier-bresson talking about how he dosent even consider photography an artisticly relavent medium and how he just does a lot of sketching now.

 

the sounds like the very beginnings of photography as an artistic medium all over again. Alfred Stieglitz helped pioneer photography into an accepted "art form".

 

info on stieglitz

in relation to the cartier-besson stuff, atget took what was mostly a utilitarian approach to his work. he had thousands of shots all carefully kept which he sold to artists as referance points for sketching/paintings. i remember seeing some examples a while back of where his photos can be found in some fairly famous paintings. one can look at his work and find artistic elements of composition and such. personally i tend to lean more towards the design of the photo/image rather than any emotional response which i feel should be secondary and on a solid base. i dont know. enough ranting.

AA and CrazeeBob; your photos are currently being developed but its a bitch since they had to get sent out due to the fact that i'm having them developed from jpgs. I should be sending them out on Wednesday, along with some extra shit for the long wait, and the money for the AA hat from rage. Crazeebob, email me the address i'm sending them to, my email is unity311@mn.rr.com

 

I'm really feeling those new shots steveaustin

 

edit to say, hot shit, that first shot from kilo is killing it
