Work shown here vs. postmodern
gfisch9862 replied to gfisch9862's topic in The History & Philosophy of Photography
<p>Fred,<br> While I don't want to focus on a particular artist, here is a link:<br> http://michaelruizart.com/work.html<br> To be fair, he also does more sculptural work that has merit and his photographic work isn't disturbing. However, I have spoken with people who consider him a great photographer. What am I missing???</p> -

<p>That's very true! However, some of the galleries are supposed to be selling the work displayed, but who is in the market for that type of work? Sometimes it seems totally backwards.</p> -
<p>Recently, I have seen a number of exhibits of "new" photographers whose work is VERY DIFFERENT that most of the work I see here. Many call themselves "postmodern", but their work appears to be of very low quality and frequently has disturbing imagery and/or messages. Their image are frequently banal, or just plain ugly.<br /> <br /> I'm wondering, why those people are having shows in important galleries/museums, but it appears that most of the people I talk with don't like the images, but for some reason, they also look down on those of us doing work that features beauty and peace.<br> <br /> Any thoughts????</p>

Difficult to capture to mood and alignments with hundreds of people blocking the way. Fortunately, I found a spot and waited for an opening. -
Hard to made images here that don't look like postcards! -

Here's the B&W version of this image. -

Ten minutes before this was taken, the place was a busy florist's shop. Then at 1:30pm the place cleared out for riposo. -

These are sheets of gypsum crystals growing in the cracks in the cliffs along the beach near La Jolla. -
This is an interesting composition, but I'm left wondering what the people are standing on, or if they are sinking into something. Giving us a bit more image would help us. -
Hi Kamala, Nice image with good composition, but the overall effect is just a flat, gray scene. The sky, water and much of the terrain are all close to the same value and the sense of depth is lost. Consider darkening the sides and bottom, to help draw the viewer into the image. -
Like it! -
Nice emotion captured, but is the right side of the image adding anything? The light reflection seems like a distraction. Perhaps you can try cropping near the door frame.
