Reply to concerned art-citizen not wanting to appear self-funky in public: I assume we are as self-important & self-indulgent & self-absorbed & self-motivated & self-whatevered as we are. We're curious about our amazing journey thru amazing spaces. We choose some tools and poke around. KEEP ON POKIN'... & have fun out there with the others...
I don't know plenty. I don't feel holier than. I am sad. I am amazed. Firstly - every day is a horrifying day for so many of us. We got chance and luck . . . Here and There everywhere
&! We are all 'picture-makers', BB.
Which must always mean we find our ways !
There are times for rules and fools.
Our leaping-expanding digital-photoshopy-internet times . . .
Good luck for all of us, BD.
I'm having color allergies. If the color isn't perfectly contributing - I go B&W - look some more.
& I have many not too tweaky choices in Lightroom5.
(It could just be senility.) ----- I read: X used to say how he likes to let color be as awkward as it wants to be. Maybe it comes down to intention? -----
The color awkwards with digital can be hella unwanted. Unless anything goes that shows.
Of course. Thanks. (re: my picture of Chris Sievey's Frank Sidebottom). I obviously & constantly find 'stuff' in the streets. Often the 'real' context is beyond ! No Stone Roses thanks (they're not dumb). I'm more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Uee_mcxvrw And anything Baroque (today).
I remember Wittgenstein being reffed in the 'art' dept at Berkeley in
the mid '60s - I bobbed my non-academe head-piece and went on painting
& to know that even Bertrand Russell took much of Ludwig on 'faith' =
the guy was a 'genius' after-all ! I love geniuses . . . too. They
just don't fit my head-piece. They do seem to be hella-good for
self-serving 'quotes' . . . hope to find one asap! And then there's my entitled touchstone grounding mascot buddy &? possible-doppelgänger "TREASURE" putz . . .
