Your comment brings us back to the recent thread on digital that would like to look like film. I don't want the snaps/postcards to look like paintings, I'd paint from the photo if I did, wouldn't I ;-) But you're absolutely right in questionning the balance of the mix. I think a painter can go to what matters to him most and recreate a world of his own. The photog has to cope with reality and with the laws of optics ... I try when I can to squeeze what struck me most out of an after all very banal file and sight, with no pretention to art or mimickry. It's just a file, and then I play with it, seasoning it to my taste... Thank you again so much for helping me to understand and construe what I'm trying to do.
