Wonderful photos Daos, thanks for sharing...
I believe art is all around us too. It is sad nowadays that we often get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life that we don't take time out to notice it.
I believe that it becomes art when one perceives it to be more than just a iron fence or beam of light, when you put something of yourself into it.
Thank you for the reminder, I think because of your post, I will notice the "art" in my surroundings more from now on.
Art is all around us, it's everywhere you go
Last Christmas I asked Santa for a digital point-n-shoot camera. I owned a traditional (read: uses film) SLR, but gifted the camera to my sister ages ago. Originally, my main motivation for getting a camera was to take photos of my watches, but I have sin...
Wonderfully evocative, Daos . . .
. . . and I agree that some of us are more sensitive than others. For the most part, artistry in three dimensions does little for my senses, but in sound, the effect can be overwhelming. The title of your thread, btw, is reminiscent of a song from my gene...
I was wondering...
...if anyone would get the Troggs reference! I should've known I could count on you, Art! Have you ever seen the movie LOVE ACTUALLY? There's a humorous scene in which one of the characters sings a cover of the song, but he's changed the one word "love" t...
Very true Dxboon!
With the digital cameras now you can just shoot away and come up with some cool pics. With all the photos we take on this forum, we should have a picture contest........ -MW
Ooh, another PPro contest!
What picture would I choose out of my current collection?! *sound of mental wheels turning* Daos
sucker for black and whites
Great pictures and a very interesting topic. I am a real sucker for good black and white pictures and are sometimes better than a color photo. I loved your first image of the iron fence. J.
Thanks, JMan!
Sometimes an ordinary color picture becomes extraordinary in black & white. I'm not saying that's the case with mine, of course, but I personally think the photo was a lot better once I drained the color from it. Thanks for your kind comments! Cheers,...

Then my work is done! :-)
Hi Ping! Thanks for the nice note! I took years and years of formal study in art history, and I believe your comment above is one of the best explanations of how something transcends its mere existence and becomes art. Great stuff! Hope you are well! Chee...
:-) Yes!
Exactly! Beauty in a bottle of that most-famous Alpine digestif! This is what I'm talking about! HAGWE, my friend! Cheers, Daos
photography is a recognised artistic medium and you seem to have the knack
those pics are extremely artistic, some more than others, but all truly art. there is as much skill in taking a good photograph as there is in painting a picture or sculpting a shape. the major difference is that some of the best photographs are taken by ...
Thanks, Graham!
I appreciate your kind sentiments. So far, all my good shots have been accidents. I find that the more pictures I take, the higher the likelihood I'll get something shareable. Cheers, Daos
