February 23, 2013 4:02pm Indeed! what a refreshing Port! truly a Master of the symbolic senses of the artistic and organic postures of the human body... it is certainly ONE thing to capture the "soul in the face" it is FAR harder to induce the same sense perhaps akin to the essence of an eclipse... BUT to be able to convey meaning by only the proxy of the human figure... well? That my friend is a Poet Photographer.... almost like trying to capture the story of a theater or more so even Freeze in time a moment of dance... There is soooooo much more to the art of "portraits" and to use the human form in the ways you have constructed? takes a deep awareness of what the many forms the human form can say... without even a face to use as a clue to what the artist intended... Lest we forget??? what is more important? the Artist' Plight of tale to tell by the clay they made into form? or perception Albeit subjective and even to the degree the audience misses the point? is hardly a failure to make clear what you might wanted to show... when all is done and the crowd is gone... what matters more? How you sleep at night? or how many different and vastly different meanings all the LOOKERS walk away with... right or wrong... all that matters is they all?? walked away that day thinking differently about things....
Take that from a Guy with Tourettes--lol-
I am ALWAYS taken in an ILL of LIGHTS...
But, all whom cross my path? all walks away with something to talk about at the dinner table...
what you mean by your art? I am swooned by whatever it is... I adore your human expressions of using the human body as figures of words...
For whatever it is worth... sometimes the best photos are the ones you dare NOT deconstruct or explain them away...
Why ruin it? I punch people that even have YELLED at me to GO GRAB YOUR CAMERA this SUNSET is DIVINE you be a fool not to SHOOT IT!
That is when I punch them in the gut and tell them to SHUT UP! I am trying to enjoy it before it is gone!
as only MOST photographers can know also--to which I give lesson to the gut punched fallen--lol
SUNSETS!!!!! WILL NEVER!!! translate the way the human eye sees them!-
colors never the same-balance all messed up--and all the things surely you know--JUST do NOT usually work---
To shoot it--or try--?? is to miss it-
Somethings you just cannot stuff in your pocket and keep in your photos folders...
The specific photo? is making me break one of my own vices---
be it the first---I REALLY LIKE the very focalized Symmetry...
I will fogive us both---this is JUST one of those shots you could and many have---done... but?
Unicorn shot perfect head sniper trigger pull!
BRAVO! love to see compositions done millions of times before (about-ish of course-lol-- no 2 snow flakes--)
But... You nailed it!---also your other body of material shows clear and immense talents of many different styles--
So many one shot wonders on this site--- love to see things off theme-- I am guilty of such also---and I like to shoot flowers like people-
They are much much easier to deal with than posing people---ug...
You try to have Tourettes and get a smile---lol while shooting--
forgive the long comment--I never do things with refrain--
