A Luxurious Art Balance

Photography is a luxurious balance of art. Certainly a form within technology.  However I would like to consider it of a form that translates within some for into philosophy. It’s ones own rendered and recorded perspective if you will. Perhaps perspectives rendered within an art form that renders worth and truth.

Each image can take on a life of it’s own and with such a unique, expressive, and subjective art form. Imaginative vision offers so much than just the ordinary. Secondly, I am not sure if you have been amongst other photographers but most often it’s just like a group of painters within a room as all are very silent as they are capturing their own renders. I will never forget this while amongst 10 others all taking pictures around the St. Lawrence River.  Seemingly the lens is a catalyst that allows us to see yet that is merely all. A photo can be mysterious within a selective and silent manner. As the more one tells the less you know.  All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to see it and that sound rather different but it's all within what one sees a perception if you will. There are always two sides to each and ever picture the photography one whom views it. 

The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. There definitely is an art within the manner that one does render a picture. Fortunately for myself photography has not just been a hobby from which one just captures something, it's been a tremendous means and way in understanding nature, places, society, people and it never does get boring.

What I have come to understand especially the last four years is that within each render there is more to what we see and view. When we take that time to allow our eyes to view and see it.  The render of a photograph in truth never needs to be explained, the more you know the less you know – for some they may know what I mean. But it’s an art and it’s certainly something that I would have never fathomed enjoying as much as I do – yet I do.

I thought it was worth taking the time to write on this area as it truly ranks right up there and for every picture there are around twenty which I just delete. Yet it’s certainly an art form and within that essence of the click perhaps comes a genuine quality.

  1. the old ones say "with wisdom comes humility"----meaning the more wise the more we understand that there is much more to learn------si----the photo is music and dance---song and verse----given by one but experienced by many----

  2. Si. I thought that I would take the time and just write out how and what I feel within photos as they truly are something much more to me - much more than just four years ago.

  3. A photography is an experession of itself. The way you catches certain subject explain in a way what the person is. And through photographs you can see life ... the transparency that it brings minus the talks ...

  4. And within that each has there own manner in how they do it much like any other area. The important thing is that one stays true to their passion.

  9. Though photography is indeed and art I take pictures mostly of things I love. If someone else enjoys them that's nice but even if not I have captured some of the days memories and what I cherish . I wish I would have had a digital camera when my children were growing up

  11. Thanks for giving me a greater appreciation of this art, Jack--the fewer words that accompany a photograph sometimes, the more the image can convey to a viewer.

  12. It certainly is an art form, taken through an individual's minds eye. I enjoy taking photographs, love my point 'n shoot, not in to the technicality of it. Sometimes I am lucky and get an excellent shot, but it doesn't matter if I don't, I am having fun taking them to immortalize a moment in time for myself, if others derive enjoyment from the photos I take it is a bonus!
    Nelly always forgets her camera on our adventures, so I take the pics and upload them in to Flickr, play with them a lil, write a dialogue and email her the link to enjoy and share or not.
    I love this perspective of the pool!

  13. Two people can photograph the same subject ... but both will offer a completely different interpretation .... thats I guess is the art of photography ~smile~ .....

  14. I once took photography in college, but it wasn't something I majored in. I took it just for fun. It certainly is art and I know Jack that you enjoy the art of taking pictures. A picture is certainly worth a thousand words and more.

  16. Same here Cheryl, once invested 50 dollars to just have film transferred onto disc as back then when we were kids we didn't have this. But I like these new picture frames where one plugs it in and well it's rather neat to say the least yet I am old school in many areas still.

  17. Well that all said I do have the gift (is it a gift) of the gab as you know but I have learned to be more silent now Doug.

  18. As two painters will sit and do a painting - neither one will be the same as Summer mentioned it's all within the minds eye. Now why did I pick the eighth? :)
