Have we become Calluous
Has our minds been so flooded, inundated, overwhelmed and saturated with images (Some Great, Some horrible) that we don't appreciate good work when we see it??? Would Ansel Adam survive in todays environment?

Nov 19 06 09:51 am Link I still do appreciate good work when I see it....so in that way I'm not callous.....but the way things are has turned me callous. It's harder to give anyone the benefit of the doubt.....like they're a flake until they prove otherwise, ya know? It seems that the value that people place on our craft is getting lower and never even close than the value we place on it.....know what I mean? Nov 19 06 09:52 am Link Good sir, I have not *become* callous. I have always been callous. Nov 19 06 09:53 am Link Photography seems no different than any other industry these days. Take a look at the music industry. The world is flooded with bands trying to make it. Some great bands get noticed while others never do. On the other side of the coin, there are bands that somehow found their way to a contract (connections maybe, daddy's rich) that shouldn't be allowed to hold a guitar in their hands.

Nov 19 06 11:06 am Link Ansel Adams never would've been created in today's market. His work is of his time, the theme is of his time, and it's a culmination of a long tradition of the art, and he's pretty much the end of the line. There have been no successors to the Ansel Adams tradition (to speak of anyhow), and I don't think there will be. Do I think we've become a little callous, closed, disaffected by all this noise? Probably somewhat. Nov 19 06 11:08 am Link jon mmmayhem wrote: You always want to weight the baby, if you put it in the water & it floats to the top during boiling it won't cook evenly. Nov 19 06 11:18 am Link my feet have become rather callous, but that's it. actually, i think the more crap i see, the more i can recognize good work.
