The Transform

When you stand before nature what do you extract? When you stand on the rock what advantage does it give you; you it?
So often, like today, after seeing work by those big names, Sexton today, I ask myself to transform their question like this:

If they had used a recorder and microphone would it be music. If they stood there and recorded using increasing better microphones and recorders would what they did ever be called symphonic?

What is their transform? They took away the color. Is that why they don’t like, can’t see, contemporary photography, much of which requires color?

You Meet

You meet the nicest people, was an ad slogan from early years ago. Now with vanity plates you can be led into thinking you know the car. Yet I don’t know if this is the car of this website owner or just some grand fan taking the name for a spin.

Still I have to confess thinking it odd that such a nice new car (note the tire tread) must bode well for the sale of other people’s work. Also, if you are the LW guy, keep your dogs out of my shot, okay?
