  1. None of such readings are necessary to appreciate the image on a more instant pre-recognition level of seeing when first encountering

    Definitely, and I sometimes think this post-capture analysis is a little ambitious and wonder if HCB was aware of the all those readings when he took the photo. Not that really matters.

  2. Maybe seek out environments and situations that are a bit outside of the relatively generic?

    Sorry, Brad. There’s nothing outside of anything there. Some heavy handed processing maybe.

  3. Andrew, I think you looking at this too analytically and ignoring your feelings. The reason I equate SP with WP is they are both emotive and engage the viewer and if you have faith in your ability to spot a great WP photo you are almost certainly going to be able to do the same with SP. But you ain’t going to be able to appreciate all “great” photos of all genres

     

    Asking what makes a specific photo (that you don’t rate) great sounds more like you are interested in being able to critique photos rather than appreciate(feel) them.

  4. No Norman, I was simply responding to your comment regarding my being in a league of my own with regards to subject matter, hence the reference to Instagram which in no way relates to any number of followers, that is your invention!

    But enough of this exchange, I have just been contacted by a person you insulted gratuitously in another thread, we agreed on the futility.

    I will humour someone like you once, rarely twice, but it ceases there.

    John, you might want to try and distinguish between Norman & Norma. We wouldn’t want you posting pics of naked men and disappointing your fan boys.

  5. what offensive post?

     

    “western_isles”- if that is his real name- saunters in here and starts moaning about things that everyone is aware of. why didn’t “western_isles” do us all a favour and read the previous posts on the misfiring of the site instead of posting an inflammatory post

     

    i rest my case.

     

    (i won’t mention the fact that “western_isles” wasn’t capable of distinguishing who, allegedly, “offended” him)

  6. The electoral college was another institution to attempt the same.

     

    Barry, is anyone arguing for a reform of the electoral college given how it “failed” the majority of voters in the last election. Failed in the sense the person with the most votes lost.

     

    (This is not an attempt to delegitimise Trump’s “victory” just that the result, mathematically speaking, seems odd)
