Dearest Michael:

Contemplation, Challenge 49, Faceless, you came in 2nd to Vikas, and there is never a sin in that:

and I was just getting my feet on the ground over in Exhibition with:

Five years Sir...we've been together, time does not diminish the affection...

Times change, things change...the only constant is change.

I've often said that if I had the time, (or passion), I would do work like Michael Puff...not like as in similar, but rather like with the same intelligence and professionalism.

Best Wishes, Traveller

As An Edit End Note:

Do go out and buy yourself some White Chocolate Raspberry ice cream....You deserve it....lol...yummy as I sit here making a happy fool of myself)

Traveller, it's a delightful image and one that commands attention, IMHO. One can only guess at the feelings between the couple (*if* they even are a couple), but that's a marvelous aspect of the image. The interpretation is in the eye of the viewer. I think you've achieved your goal.

It's fascinating to me that you actually remember my Rothko image. It is one of my favorite images and yet has not really received much favorable attention from viewers. What speaks to us internally as artists may not be what speaks to viewers, and I rather think that's OK. I think you've achieved something here with much more tension that my image, but these types of captures bring their own momentary mood to them which is outside of our direct control.

That you are a traveller, that you choose to capture specific images during your travels, that you bring them to life in sharing your point of vision is very much so what art is all about. That's just my opinion for what it's worth...but since it IS my opinion, I'm rather fond of it. -Michael

Charlie, I know what you are saying...a multitude of words is actually a sign of failure in reference to visual art....and yet, it's Friday afternoon, I'm waiting for a phone call and...I think it interesting that, even absent talent like Micheal Puff, I still think of myself as an Artist....I actually will admit to...wanting to make Art.

Even if I don't have the time for the serious effort I'd like to invest...or any time for that matter....I still care, I still want, I still desire.

Something....lol

Edit: I did think of M. Puff's famous, (to me), SF art gallery shot when I took this.

You don’t create photographic art by taking a photograph of someone else’s art. Rather, you tell a story, and let the other person’s work of art be a primary player in the story. You have achieved that: you have told a story; you have created art. Indeed, you have told more than one story, and I don’t have to accept your written version, in order to see a story in the photo (e.g., photographer impatiently waiting for stranger to walk out of the way so he can get his shot). That too, that sense of uncertainly in the nature of the image's story, gives this photo a place in the world of photographic art.

I've looked at this again...it is getting lots of views, about double. This is visually exciting, contains some hard truths, tells an ambiguous story in an interesting way.
He is involved in his photography, she is distant within the frame, disengaged, and, to step away from what is presented in the image, (something unfair in an artistic sense I realize), actually arguingly unhappy with him, with this waste of her time....and maybe his also.

This is not how she likes to spend an afternoon.

I suppose I add this comment in an effort to ask people to pause at this image for a moment, let it sink in...does it work for you, or not is the question. Of course it's Friday too...lol...not to impose on anyone's weekend, but have I accomplished...Okay, I'll say it, have I accomplished Art?

Best Wishes, Traveller

Paris? No, invite, probably not. I consider the image to be somewhat hurtful in the sense that I caught an uncomfortable truth about the state of their relationship. I am not sure how they would respond to this image.

So at this time, probably not.

One tries to not be mean or cruel.

Striking image Traveler. Is this from your trip to Paris?

And, I hate to be so picky, but did you speak with the photographer and invite them to join in the fun here at CIC?
