Tina;
Sure it can be art- not necessarily good art but it is a creative endeavour.
I can well imagine what it looks like, and even if technically well done,
probably doesn't do a lot to "move" one! It does leave hope for duffers like
me! Someday I may have an exhibit of my own!
The poster who mentioned the ferns and peeling paint must not have seen
Weston's photographs of peppers- the light, tonal range and shapes are
absolutely fascinating, and beautiful. Evocative? they are almost
pornographic!
I do appreciate an image, even of a mundane object, if it gives me a new
perspective, or way of looking at it.
You should vindicate us, Tina! Put on a show! Greensboro is not that far
from Charlotte, and I'd love to see some of your work for real and not
limited to 72dpi!
Best of Light!
