Why do you Art?
Lance, Enjoying Copious Pollen@Curator It's been suggested that the photos I make aren't art. And maybe they're not. But I photograph because I have to document things in the world I see. I love the act of making photos.
Morag Perkins@analogfusion WHO SAID THAT? I just want to talk to them
*readies the big foam cluebat*
@moragperkins It's a long story, but it was a comment in a mass email from the director of a local arts organization I belonged to.
It may not have been directed solely at me, but it was clear I was at least among the intended audience. I just wish they'd made the submission guidelines explicit so I didn't waste time and money on printing and framing.
I didn't bother renewing my membership after that event. 🤷‍♂️
Colorblind Cowboy@analogfusion @moragperkins That doesn’t sound right.
@colorblindcowboy @moragperkins Apparently they don't like straight photography, but that wasn't anywhere stated in the entry guidelines.
@analogfusion @moragperkins WTF is straight photography? Sounds like a club I wouldn’t be a part of and wouldn’t have me as a member.
joel b@colorblindcowboy @analogfusion @moragperkins it’s merely photography that uses no convex nor concave lenses. No refraction either.
