I went out the other day and tried to shoot something similar, the pics are at http://www.pbase.com/anilwarrier/chaotic_landscapes , take a look when you get time and let me know what you think.Anilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948893475055855221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-551799995056614832007-06-19T13:22:00.000-06:002007-06-19T13:22:00.000-06:00well, that's certainly different from what I recal...well, that's certainly different from what I recall of his early statements on the idea.

Looking at his web page, his statement includes:<BR/><BR/>"I applaud the expensive and collectible artwork found in typical art galleries and in no way exclude photography from this category. I do, however, still believe there is a place for affordable images in the everyday lives of all of us who love images."<BR/><BR/>Doesn't sound all that different to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-62686117376381015722007-06-18T16:00:00.000-06:002007-06-18T16:00:00.000-06:00Yes, I think there is a significant and important ...Yes, I think there is a significant and important difference between Bekman's approach and Brooks Jensen's. Jensen appears to believe that ALL photography should really be valued at this level, which I think is simply wrong headed.<BR/><BR/>(I think there's a sort of libertarian/live-in-the-woods/isolationist/faux egalitarianism that feeds into a sort of chip on the shoulder anti-<B>A</B>rt stance that can be seen in a certain area of photography which appears in many ways to be a peculiarly American phenomenon.

I'd really like to do some small work, maybe polaroid size. I'm working on something which is small prints, maybe 2x4 inches, stuck on board to make a bigger montage, although i guess that is stearing away from photography and into the 'art' category where the issues are differentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-23789366065528563232007-06-18T08:28:00.000-06:002007-06-18T08:28:00.000-06:00Agree with Julian about the size issue.

The way the Beckman project is structured it seems that small prints are defined as cheap starter art rather than as an aesthetic choice.John Matturrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016271856519973833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-72852729141242379212007-06-18T06:29:00.000-06:002007-06-18T06:29:00.000-06:00I think the difference with Brook is he doesn't th...I think the difference with Brook is he doesn't think ANY prints should be big prices. The difference with Tim's approach is he is till producing larger sizes at 'real' prices. The gripe I'm beginning to see about this is that we are enforcing the idea that 'expensive' equals big size.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-24436605473904762582007-06-18T06:22:00.000-06:002007-06-18T06:22:00.000-06:00As a driver of the movement, I think Brooks Jensen...As a driver of the movement, I think Brooks Jensen of Lenswork deserves more credit. He has been pushing real people prices for a while, and many photographers debated and responded long before Bekman's move. Of course, her initiative will help, and is well timed.<BR/><BR/>I hope this works well for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-7081402667630962172007-06-18T02:42:00.000-06:002007-06-18T02:42:00.000-06:00Tim, I think you are going to have a blast doing t...Tim, I think you are going to have a blast doing this. I've spent the weekend printing and packing - just been to the post office to send the first batch. I've had contact with people I'd never comunicated with before, people who watch my site, but who I didn't know existed. It is really nice to find homes for prints. oh, and I got the paypal button to work..!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
