[Leica] IMG: Fuzzillogic 2 - TED

[phamard at numericable.fr (phamard@numericable.fr)]

Merry Christmas Ted, to you and you kin, either related by the blood, the 
flesh or the spirit.
Your kind and wise words are this year's best Xmas present for me.
Thanks so much.
I'll be posting the colour version when I'm back home (God's only nose when. 
I still have so many chimney tops to visit LoL)
I found the BW was much stronger and effective, but of course I'd like to 
have your comments on it too.

Till then
Enjoy the spirit of late year festivities and celebrations.
Amiti?s
Philippe

>Several years ago when I was the Assnt. Executive Producer of the National
>Film Board of Canada Still Division. I had to moderate and introduce a major
>exhibition created by a group of artist photographers, primarily art types
>using the photographic process to create their images rather than brush &
>paint. 
>
> 
>
>Yet they were still referred to as "photographers" when it had absolutely
>nothing to do with the taking of pictures as perceived when one thinks about
>photographs and photographers.
>
> 
>
>In the days before the opening of the exhibition I walked around the gallery
>shaking my head not believing we were sponsoring such a pile of garbage when
>mega-dollars were involved! 
>
>

>But the more times I did my walk about the more fascinating it became and I
>found I did very much like many of them. Not all, because some were truly
>garbage. Several were extremely enlightening due to the imagination of
>creation.

>So my respect for those who use the medium and process of photography in
>creating their art truly are a special breed who sit apart from every day
>photographers' such as myself and thousands of others.

>So this is to merely illustrate I do not speak without "photography art"
>experience. I find your image interesting and if I were a collector of B&W
>art photography I would surely have this in my collection. But wondered if
>it might not be more effective if in colour?
