cool, have 2 people to answer, start with the first one first. Mr. Dale, thanks for taking the time to look at my stuff, ummmm you were pretty harsh, thats ok, they say everybody has an opinion, right? yeah, the pic of the pornstar is just for the tits, and that i met her, sorry, i work as stage and tour management for rock bands, i meet lots of famous folks, you called that one to a t. about the sabbatier stuff, no, no solarized, all sabbat. i get more good comments about those than just about any other of my work, yours is the first bad one i've ever had. so you don't like the litho posterizations and offset pos/neg litho prints, i do and this is about my art and vision, right? i sell these, they win prizes in shows, where is the part that i'm doing wrong? the inside of the elbow and the nipple, i liked the line in that vision, i was standing over the model and looked down through my machine and saw that, so i captured it :) the scan on brainiacs is a bit darker than the print, sorry, the band loved it, that was who i was shooting for. look, i dont mind criticism, but everything you had to say was negative, that's ok too everyone has their own opinion...... i only have a couple things to say about your stuff, i try not to cut off any of my subjects body, that's the way i was taught to shoot people, all yours are whacked at the waist. i think your pics are nice and pretty and "technically proficient", but i find them boring, nothing makes you look twice to say "what the hell is that" yeah, i'm abstract, i try to push the envelope, jerry uelsmann is my hero, http://www.uelsmann.com/ i find ansel adams boring too, yer in good company most of my own prints are 11x14 and 16x20, they dont fit into my scanner, and i dont trust anyone else to touch my stuff like that, my site is only a fair representation of my work. to me you seem to be a hardcore old-schooler, thats ok, if thats what makes you happy. keep on shooting, that's why we do it, cause we like it............ ............................ .............................................(posted 8783 days ago)for the second, Mr. Kantor,
thank you again for looking and your comments, i realize verosm is a far from perfect print, i guess that i was just trying to draw attention to the figure and the circle around her, i have numerous other prints of that, all different, i never stopped to look past what i saw in the pic, i realize now how washed out the rest of the pic is, thanks for pointing that out, i'll try to find a better print or two to put up, give me a week or so, i'll email ya when they're up. yes, mj, self2 and daliguana are just snapshots, i just liked them, the iguana has been used twice by others, self2 is a vanity pic (sorry everyone, haven't done a better one of myself) an mj was for a friend, allthough i kinda like the depth of field on that one, like the framing of the grass too. i think i'll take your advice and reorginize the pics into more definite categories, i would appreciate your advice on how you think i should do this, it's all just my work to me. yeah, the intro java was meant to be a joke, i don't do commision work, :) i make art, and sometimes people rent or buy it, sometimes i show alone or with one or two others, i don't actively seek to, but i do sell stuff. give me a hollar back when you can, here or my email, either is ok. if you would ever like a print of anything, just ask, it's yours
thanks again, hope to hear from you soon
keep shooting...........j gadsby
