Hi.
I saw this article on the BBC website and had a look. Perhaps it is just me but if this article includes "ten important photographic works from the book" then I must be a master photographer because I think that even I could take a photograph of someone sticking their head in a bucket!
See what you think and write something nice about the pictures here.
@creampuff Mmmmm not my cup of tea and I certainly don't have the same interpretation of the photos as Phil does! My original post said something about pretentious crap but I deleted so I wouldn't offend anyone ;-)
Well, after reading what is written there, I think that we have to finally accept that photography has reached acceptance as a very definite art form and not just a craft. If it weren't 'art' would someone waste spend so much time writing such clap trap about it?
Which is not to say that some of the images aren't interesting. I did like the idea of the photographer who got people to write down what they were thinking on a sign and then photographed them. I would have preferred to see more of her shots rather than reading about how the guy in the bucket "reconfigures relationships between people and things" bwahaha!
@gardencat Thank Joanne. Yes, I thought that the sign holding one was interesting. Is it something that we could do as a "one off" theme here do you think?
I think my old mucker and sparring parter steampowered could do better than that. He had a way of spotting unusual things like buckets and white squares!!!
not my cup of tea...although I did quite like the pumpkins shot and the signs...the rest I could take or leave. If that is considered "great photography" then I'm giving up now!
Frankly my 9 year old has a better eye than that.........pretentious load of twaddle! Not that I have an opinion!! Glad my 365 buddies all take "proper" photos!!
When I saw these shots and read the commentary to go with them I thought it must be April Fool's Day. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I can see nothing in them at all!!
The photos are okay taken just as photo's, but I think what spoils them for me is the commentary. It reminds me of people in an art gallery looking at a massively expensive artwork of one black line on a red background and saying big words like "existentialism" which I don't understand, and don't even know if I have spelt it right. Why does the girl in the tutu have to be "Trapped" why can't it just be a photo of her in her new tutu!

On a minute by minute basis more stunning shots pass through the 'latest' page.
Someone needs to get a grip somewhere!!
@padlock How is Paul, is he coming to London on the 28th?
