    S&D Ethics: What is appropriate or inappropriate?

    in Street & Documentary

    Posted

    <I>your spontaneous gut rection? Like it exists in some glass bowl seperate from who you are and how you think</I>

    <p>

    of course it's who I am, thought that was clear when I stated I shoot for myself and no one else and when looking at one of my own pics I try not to think and just go in whatever direction the pic itself moves me in.

    <p>

    <I>Well I got some news for you Ed, your gut reaction is someone else's aesthetic.</I>

    <p>

    this should be good....care to elaborate or state who's? Seems as if it would my aesthetic and some other person would have their own aesthetic.

    <p>

    <I>As for a pic has 'it' or doesn't r u saying some pics are good and some aren't - and it all depends on your gut reaction (your aesthetic preferences) - c'mon spit it out man</I>

    <p>

    Nah, never said that either, all I said some pics hit me and some don't. I'm not really concerned with any historic or aesthetic precedents. Not my place to say what's good or bad though I can say what I like. There's a whole bunch well known folks who in my opinion have certainly produced acceptable work but not anything that really hits me, HCB, Winogrand to name a few and whole bunch that just blow me away.

    <p>

    <I>This is a stoopid argument.</I>

    <p>

    Agreed, maybe if we refer to it as a discussion it would have a slighter degree of validity to it.

    <I>Peter: Lemme get this right, a person can enjoy or be moved - without a 'judgement' (your word Ed) being made ? What? A person's reaction to something is based on what? </I>

    <p>

    Absolutely, called gut feeling or spontaneous reaction if you want. A pic either has it or it doesn't. And, it's only my spontaneous gut reaction that counts not that of your viewers.

    <p>

    Christ at times you sound like you just finished your first semester at art school and have this burning desire to impress with your dribble. I dunno maybe some are impressed.

    <I>Travis: Is based on how much photoshop is done after the snap, Peter, the reaction that is.</I>

    <p>

    Here we go ... We are talkin' about what we do not how we do it (take your time and let it sink in). Nevertheless, whipped through your pics, nice to see the work of a purist or practitioner of unmanipulated pics.

    nah, i actually agree and thought the lame duck analogy was great untill i thought of dead pigeons. anyway, yeah not really interested in homelessness though sometimes the presence of a huiman figure helps regardless of their social status.

    <p>

    for me at least there's a diff between shooting and posting, pretty much what goes in the "family album" stays there out of respect for friends and family....

    <p>

    not keen on shooting pics of strangers kids either...
